Q: What’s your favorite part of 826NYC?
A: It has been an amazing opportunity to meet such gifted storytellers and writers and see how their stories evolve over the five week program. The students really get to know their characters and take them on incredible adventures. Also, it’s been a while since I was their age, so it’s fun to see what elementary school students are like now—I always learn something new!
