Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

There will be 30 participants that attend 3 writing sessions where they will be taught and guided to express themselves using a variety of styles of creative writing, and have their works published by Cow Tipping Press. Participants will also have the opportunity to present their works at a book release and writer's reception in front of a live audience of family, friends and the community. Evaluation is done using paper and pencil surveys-including both qualitative and quantitative components - given to all participants, teachers, caregivers and organizational partners. This data is collected at both the halfway point and end of classes to inform changes and improvements to the program.
