I’m looking for Creative Writing classes in Long Island for teenagers. I’m in a school creative writing class but allot of people don’t take it seriously, and those of us who do have to censor our work. I talked to people in the class and most of us want to find a creative writing class outside of the school, but I google searched it and I can’t find any Creative Writing classes at all.

In 1989 or so, a friend read a book about teenagers and their parents going through a nuclear war. I don’t remember much about it, except the friend got it through my elementary school’s library, and it mentioned refugee camps of some sort.

What are some characteristics of juvenile fiction? What about adult fiction?

Right now i’m reading Kidnapped by Stevenson (a book for teenagers) and i have to explain what are the differences between this kind of book and adult book.
I really need help with that.
If you guys know any sites that could be useful please, let me know.

What is the difference between books that are written for teenagers and books written for adults? I have to write an essay that explains this subject (it has to be 8 pages). Any ideas?

Would they roll their eyes if I mentioned I’d been published in Teen Ink? I always include the fact that I’m an undergrad in my cover letter to fiction editors (and when I was in high school mentioned that I was in high school). Do serious fiction editors at literary magazines dislike submissions from young people? Does mentioning my young age hurt my chances of being published? Or, conversely, could it ever help? Would love to hear anyone’s thoughts. Thanks!
NOTE: I do not explicitly mention my age, only that I’m an undergrad. But, of course, the editor can infer my age plus or minus two years from this info.

I want to write a story about a teenager and a young kid, but it is hard making it not seem like it is written for readers of those ages. Any suggestions?
