Youth Writers Rock

Erin BowmanErin Bowman- I enjoy musical theater and lacrosse. Currently I am apart of a youth choir. I sit on the board of a youth led organization called “Youth as Resources”. I think it is important to give of yourself, and always do your best. One thing that’s very important to me staying true to yourself. If you love your self, then it doesn’t matter what anybody else says or thinks about you.. My favorite author is Mildred D. Taylor, she is known for a book called “ Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry “ , which is one of my favorite books. When i want to be an actor, singer, or nurse, this all depends on what God wants for me to do. I’m grateful to participate in the “Youth Writers Rock “ program because, I have never written a book, and I am excited to be enrolled in this new experience!

Terrell Miller- I am 11 years old in the 6th grade. I sing/rap (writing my own lyrics), act in
plays, participate in sports, draw, and write. One thing I love to do most, is
write. I like writing because I want people to see my creativity as I express
myself. I think a writing group will really help me with my writing skills
because I have always wanted to publish my very own art and ideas. Most of the
books I make are graphic novels- because I enjoy reading all sorts of comics,
especially Marvel. When I was younger, authors such as, Jeff Kinney, Lincoln
Peirce, Jeffrey Brown, and Jennifer L. Holm inspired me to make my own
characters and books. My younger brother and I, used to wake up early Saturday
morning, brush our teeth and rush to the basement to make comics. Every now and
then, I get a few pieces of printer paper and make a book with it. I just look
back to those old books and say that I could’ve published that. I have
completed few books over the years. One was an autobiography, and the others
were a series of funny little comic books. My goal is to create and publish a
whole series this year of my own graphic novels.
Lena Bowman – biography coming.
