Come learn how to create your own dystopian world from author Jill Tew.
Have you ever wanted to write your own dystopian book, but weren't sure how to go about creating the world? We are hosting a writing workshop for teens, grades 6-12, with Jill Tew.
Jill is the critically-acclaimed author of dystopian romance and middle grade novels that imagine Black girls in exciting new worlds.
Her debut novel The Dividing Sky (2024) was a Top 10 Kids Indie Next Pick, and was selected by Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Bookshop.org, and Reactor Magazine as one of the Best Young Adult Books of the Year. Her middle grade debut Kaya Morgan’s Crowning Achievement will be available in April 2025.
A graduate of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Jill lives in Atlanta with her family. She is also a co-host of the Afronauts Podcast, which provides writing tips and community for Black aspiring speculative fiction writers. When not writing, she can be found stress baking, gardening, or belting showtunes in the carpool line.
For teens in grades 6 - 12!
