The Cole Summer Writers Institute finished up its sixteenth summer of creatinine writing with a strong week off fun, writing, and creativity! Writer McCall Hoyle joined our twelve writers on Thursday, July 8 and led an hour-long discussion that was wide-ranging and thoughtful. Topics she covered included her own writing routine, her origin story(or how she became a writer), and how to get published. Students asked great questions and really got McCall thinking about some topics that were pretty esoteric to the publishing world. Other highlights of the week included lots of fun, challenging writing exercises, collaboration with other writers in the room, and a full on workshop session on Friday that was attended by our new principal, Mr. Rick Shea.
Thanks go out to McCall Hoyle for being a super friendly, informative, and inspirational guest writer; Gail Brown from the Voorheesville Public Library for arranging McCall’s visit (and for attending on Thursday); the administration of the Voorheesville Central School District for providing the space for us to work; Robby at Sawyer’s Screen printing and Embroidery for the excellent tee shirts; Paul at Digital Imaging Technologies for awesome quality posters; and Hannah Lewis for the cool poster design.
Here’s looking to 2022!
