We kind of grew up with the Go Teen Writers community as a guide for what it means to be a writer, and we hope this book gives something back. It’s been amazing to get connected with all these writers from around the world.

It’s a series of love letters from writers who know what it’s like to struggle and strive toward those two prized words we all long to write: ‘The End.’” –Brian McBride It’s more than just another how-to guide. “If you’re looking for a quick read to help get the wheels of inspiration turning in your mind again, I highly recommend Project Canvas. Project Canvas was made a reality largely because of the Go Teen Writers community! Many of the authors contained in the book have been involved with GTW each one contributed a chapter on topics like developing a convincing villain, or dealing with mental illness as an artist. No matter how ordinary and uninteresting you think you are, you have thoughts and ideas someone else needs to hear. We each open doors to reveal deep truths to which no one else has the key.

I had lots of thoughts I could share.īut I often didn’t share those thoughts and ended up squandering my five minute speeches with generic stories and anecdotes.

I was confident in my material and I communicated that confidence.īut then, there were limited prep speeches. Those speeches were relatively easy: I wrote them, I memorized them, I performed them.
