The WGA is pleased to welcome Shawn Tse as the Program Coordinator for our Writers Hub for Youth (WHY). WHY is a pilot project designed to be an online creative writing community for youth ages 13-25. Shawn will be working alongside the WGA Youth Committee to provide a series of writing related and entertaining videos and podcasts. The aim is to offer youth the opportunity grow in the knowledge and understanding of creative writing, and the possibilities for creative writing in the world of technology. Youth will have opportunities to engage with authors, connect and share with each other, and contribute to a community of emerging Alberta writers.
