A monthly, low-pressure writing circle for teens (ages 13–19)

Last Saturday of every month · 12–1:30pm CT · Zoom

No experience needed. Just show up and write.

Come write with us—whether you’re just starting out or already love it, this writing group gives you a space to experiment, share, and grow—without pressure.

In this once-a-month writing circle, teens will enjoy writing in a judgment free zone. We’ll break the ice with one another and perform various writing exercises. You are encouraged to share your work with your peers and get constructive feedback, but it is not required. Our only goal is to keep you writing!

This course is open to teen writers of any skill level.

What you’ll get: 

  • New writing each month
  • A supportive space to share (sharing is optional)
  • Constructive feedback to help improve their writing
  • Access to the Wetink online writing community, including weekly prompts

Instructor

Daniel Ramirez has been an educator for over 15 years. After studying History in grad school, he tromped around the outdoors doing conservation with teenagers. Spending time as a Montessori educator revealed the power of incorporating creativity with learning.

Encouraging youth to tap into their creative abilities convinced him to discover his own. Since then, in addition to his original love of storytelling, he’s found a penchant for calligraphy, puppetry, poetry, and block printing. A San Antonio native, he explores the crystalline waters of Central Texas in his free time.

I like how it introduced us to new poetry and types of poetry from day 1, really encouraging us to be creative.

Creative voice is what makes us human and individuals. It's a representation of our autonomy. Everyone should be allowed to be autonomous.

I feel like every writer has an implicit style. I wasn't forced to write or share anything so that made it easier to use my voice on my terms.

The feedback the workshop team gave me just made my heart skip a beat because they understood what I was trying to say!!!

I really like the class, and it challenged me to write outside of my comfort zone.
