Today I’m sad and proud at the same time. I’m sad because this 2018 edition of the Toronto Public Library’s Young Voices Magazine is my last one. I’m proud because I’ve helped launch teen writers through this magazine since 2007.
I enjoyed every minute. I loved reading the selections and meetings with teen editors to select pieces. I loved the launches, where teen writers and artists shared their inspiration. I loved working with librarians to develop the program. I loved delivering writing workshops in libraries and through outreach to places like youth shelters and an eating disorder clinic. Most of all, I love reading the magazine.
You can pick up your copy at any TPL branch or read it online here.
And for Toronto youth, the Young Voices Writing and Art Fest is this weekend!
