I volunteered to teach interested teenagers a summer writing class at my local library for an hour a week in summer 2023. I created a workbook — containing some basic information, the types of writing, a few grammar lessons, exercises, several useful tips on editing, and so on — and promised my potential students I would publish their completed work in an anthology.
Only a few people registered, and only half of them were teenagers, but each had a story to tell. Four students completed their stories, edited them, and allowed me to create this tiny anthology, titled Summer Samplings — “Samplings” because each piece of writing is a sample of a bigger project in the works.
