The Barnes & Noble Teen Writing Workshop is ongoing but always welcoming new members. I teach a writing technique at the start of the workshop, we all work with it, and then we share.
The results go to our blog, Give Us Money. It's free! We meet at 5pm downstairs in the events section, near the "New Age" books.
267 7th Avenue, at 6th St., Brooklyn, NY [site link] [google map]

Why am I not on every single thing?
- Keeping up with all of these things would prevent me from ever conceivably writing anything.
- Switching to a new one every few years when the last one became Uncool would send me to the psych hospital again.

One reader suggested that I link pictures of Stuyvesant High School since I went there. Good idea.

...In Teen Angst? Naaah..., I started a band called Wormwhole. People have emailed me asking for the Wormwhole demo, since in the book I said that first five people who contacted me about it would be allowed to buy it. Sadly, for years, Wormwhole was lost forever. We never really had a demo; we just had one tape that we recorded in my friend Ike's bedroom.
But then, one day, I was trying to make a mix tape on my stereo. I popped in an old tape to see if it was something I could tape over, and there was all this weird religious chanting music. Then, out of the blue, literally sent by divine intervention, was the Wormwhole tape! I don't know how it got into the middle of the tape, but my friend Marcus did a tape-to-mp3 and now, for free and forever, Wormwhole's two songs here. Above you're got "Pants In The Mail." "Lumber" is below.

says: Ok so Be More Chill was amazing! i bought it yesterday afternoon and finished it the same night! Being a girl, I found it amusing to be able to find out what boys think. I also liked it when the squip made the boy stop masturbating because girls would be able to tell.

says: I have a habit of saying I fail at life. Failing at anything even a little, would be failing at life. My friend and I always tell each other (in jest, for the most part) that we fail at life. When Craig declared that he fails at life in It's Kind of a Funny Story, I screamed and immediately called my friend to tell her.
Failing at life,
Em
