August 10th- The Atlas Launch Party

The Young Emerging Writers (YEW) Summer Internship Program will host the launch party for their publication The Atlas on August 10, 2011 at 7 p.m. at the Midwest Writing Center. The Young Emerging Writers are students ages 15-19 who underwent an application and interview process for the privilege of participating in this six-week paid internship.

The YEW Internship Program provides skills in editing, writing, decision-making, and project design. In a mere 40 hours, students receive instruction in prose, poetry, and drama. The Atlas is a compilation of this writing and illustrates the students' newfound skills in magazine design and publication. The students also plan and organize the launch party to showcase their magazine – which will be sold nationally.

This event is FREE and open to the public. Come help us celebrate!!
