Wow – Page Turner Project young writers projects are amazing

Page-Turner-Baddeck-Oct'13Last year, CBC Information Morning Cape Breton teamed up with CBU Press to offer a writing workshop for Junior High students, led by best-selling author Philip Roy.  The “Page Turner Project” aimed to encourage the next generation of writers in Cape Breton.  On May 1, CBC broadcast two stories written by participants Tabitha and Azaria Durant of New Waterford. They worked with Philip via e-mail to improve their stories, culminating in the broadcast.

Congratulations Tabitha and Azaria – your stories are awesome!

You can hear the stories here (about ten minutes): http://www.cbc.ca/informationmorningcb/2014/05/01/tabitha-and-azaria-durant/
