Cecil Castelluci teaches Young Adult Fiction Writing on Sunday, July 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Castelluci says, "The YA genre will be examined and demystified, and the instructor will discuss–among other topics–what makes a book YA, and address fears about what is, and isn’t, allowed in the genre. Students will do in-class writing exercises to get them exploring their stories and characters, and there will be an option to share some of these exercises with the group." The cost for the class is $60 for members and $72 for the public. The class will be held at Ink Spot (710 13th St) and registration can be completed online.
