Teens ages 13+ are invited to join local author Vincent Tirado for a writing workshop! Learn about the hero's journey story structure and work on your own writing exercises.

Vincent Tirado is a non-binary Afro-Latine born and raised in the Bronx. Their first novel, BURN DOWN, RISE UP (2022) was recognized with the Pura Belpré Award, and is a Bram Stoker and Lambda Literary award finalist. Since then, they’ve written WE DON'T SWIM HERE (2023) and a short story in the anthology, THE BLACK GIRL SURVIVES IN THIS ONE (2024). Their latest novel, WE CAME TO WELCOME YOU (2024) is now available to order. When they’re not writing new spine-chilling horrors, they can be found making another pot of coffee and harassing their cat, Bugsy.

Registration is required. Questions? Contact Sara Huff, Head of Young Adult Services, at shuff@mclinc.org or 215-885-5180, ext. 147.
