Writers in the Schools (WITS) will be hosting end-of-residency student readings for Benson, Cleveland, Madison, and Wilson High Schools at local bookstores and coffee shops this month. Students have spent the fall semester working with professional writers-in-residence to create and revise poetry, comics, fiction, and nonfiction. All readings are free and open to the public; we would love to have you join us!
