It's Kind of a Funny Story Eventful Program Tour + Returning to B&N Park Slope

Back in 2010, Focus Features sponsored a contest with Eventful to bring me to high schools across America. Thank you very much to all schools that participated in the "It's Kind of a Funny Story Eventful Program Tour":

Thank you especially to all teachers who helped organize the events and all students who attended!

Now that the tour is over, I am traveling to New York, where I will lead a special session of the Barnes & Noble Teen Writing Workshop:

  • Friday, 4/1/11, 5:00 pm: Returning to Barnes & Noble Park Slope!


    Since I moved to Los Angeles in 2010, one of the things I've missed the most is working with students at the Barnes & Noble Teen Writing Workshop in Park Slope.

    I am starting a California chapter of the workshop, but in the meantime I'm happy to announce that I will be returning to Brooklyn for a special session of the Park Slope Workshop on Friday, April 1 at 5pm. (No, it's not an April Fool's joke!)

    I look forward to seeing everyone who can make it from our old workshops, which ran 2005-2010. New guests are welcome as well!

Please note, too, that Give Us Money, the online journal of the Barnes & Noble Teen Writing Workshop, has been revamped and has a new story by student Christina McCarthy:



"Thumbs Down, Bro"
