GRADES 9-12: In this class, participants engage with the world around them to develop writing in all genres. This is an exercise-focused class which encourages participants to build poems out of receipts, to write dialogue by eavesdropping, and to create characters based on objects found around the house.

Meg Whelan holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Kentucky. Her work has appeared in or is forthcoming from So to Speak, The Red Branch Review, Brink Literary, and The Banyan Review.
