Programming Spotlight: Creative Writing with Paul Griffin

L-R: Paul Griffin, Math Teacher Wanda Carter and her students in Abbott House during the workshop



With his usual kindness and warmth the author Paul Griffin facilitated two creative writing workshops for detained  students at Belmont last Wednesday.   As always Griffin nurtured the students’ voices,  and motivated them to pick up their pencils to express themselves and tell their stories.   He then encouraged everyone interested to enter the contest for the Ned Vizzini Writing Prize.  

We are grateful to Karen Keys and the Brooklyn Public Library for arranging the workshops. --Jessica Fenster-Sparber
