Visions' First Student Authors Published

During the fall semester of 2012, 28 students gathered together every Friday and wrote for three hours. With the help of volunteers and teachers, these students created outstanding pieces of poetry, fiction, and prose. After a semester of writing, an anthology of this classes' work is being published by 916 Ink.

On February 4th, you are welcome to join us at the B Street Theatre @ 2711 B Street, Sacramento for the book release party. There will be light refreshments available. Books, posters, and t-shirts will be for sale. The Visions' student authors will be reading their pieces from the book. We hope you can join us to celebrate this exciting event.
