WRITERS IN RESIDENCE

The writers in residence at the Bronx Academy of Letters add depth to the school’s approach to literacy by leading intensive writing workshops one day a week, brainstorming with teachers to infuse the curriculum with writing exercises, and serving as overall writing advisers—staff members students can turn to for both criticism and encouragement. The writers in residence are also faculty advisers for the school's quarterly newspaper, The Raven, and the biannual literary journal, One Pen.

The Bronx Academy of Letters is proud to welcome back poet Elana Bell as head writer in residence for the 2006-2007 school year. This year Will Georgantas, our founding program coordinator, also joins us as our first editor in residence, leading an intensive journalism workshop and advising The Raven.
