(New York, NY—November
7, 2016) Audio/Visual Production major Alana Aninipot of Secaucus, a junior at
High Tech, and High Tech Environmental Science major Lily Israel, a resident of North Bergen, have enrolled in non-credit creative writing classes at New
York University’s School of Professional Studies, announced
Dr. Joseph Giammarella, Principal of High Tech.
These creative writing
classes, offered for five Saturdays from 10am-4pm, offer public readings of student
work for friends and family after the fifth and final class. During these classes,
Aniniport and Israel workshop their creative writing with peers and learn about
form, flow, and the effectiveness of their work. They also discover information
about the literary business, finding a literary agent, and the extremely
difficult task of getting published.
The author of The
Duff, Kody Keplinger, visited the class for a discussion. She spoke about
her publishing experience as a teenager and her work being adapted into a major
motion picture.
This fall term, five
session class, taught by Karen Heuler, a published author who writes prolific
fantasy and horror, offered Aniniport and Israel an intriguing look at process
and publication. Another session of this class and other weekend high school
classes will be offered for the upcoming spring semester by NYU.
