Literati is pleased to host Teen Spirit, an award-winning publication of the Skyline High School Writing Center. Teen Spirit is a literary magazine that allows students to share their writing, art, photography, songs, and videos with our broader community, providing them an authentic audience for their work. This event will feature several exceptional Skyline student writers reading their fiction, poetry, and essays from the fifth edition of Teen Spirit publicly for the first time.
An editorial board comprised of students in the Skyline Writing Center curate, design, and edit Teen Spirit. This year’s editorial board consists of general editors Anne Boyd (’17), Bridgette Bauer (’18), Christopher Morgan-Martin (’17), Sophia Nam (’17), Madeline Small (’18), art editor Star Su (‘17), and promotions directors Leahley Alawi (’18) and Bailey Christensen (’18). The first two editions of Teen Spirit (‘13 and ‘14) received a superior rating from National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), which is the highest possible rating. The third and fourth editions of Teen Spirit (’15 and ‘16) received an excellent rating from NCTE, the second highest rating a literary magazine can earn.
The Skyline Writing Center is a student-centered peer tutoring and mentoring organization that provides high-quality writing support to students every hour of every school day. Each year, 30 qualified juniors and seniors are trained to work with all students on a wide variety of genres at any stage of the writing process. Since opening in 2012, the Writing Center has made more than 5,000 student contacts. Jeffrey Austin, a Skyline English teacher, is the program’s founder and director.
