Meet Molly, one of our most experienced inkers here at 916 Ink! With her playful and upbeat attitude, she shines in the classroom and helps make our workshops a positive environment for everyone involved. Her writing is always a joy and delight to listen to, and she helpfully models the 916 Ink method without even thinking about it, taking her work and that of others seriously. She helps keep the class moving forward, not only by sharing her work but also carefully listening to the work of her peers and providing them with well thought out positive feedback.

“I really like practicing my writing skills and being able to express myself through my words,” Molly commented when reflecting on her experience, “I think 916 Ink is a good environment to do that. I like writing with my friends. You get to hear a lot of different styles.”

At our Amplify middle school book release party, her mother expressed equal joy in Molly having the opportunity to express herself through writing. “The Imaginarium is a wonderfully creative space, and at this young age Molly has this incredible support system to help her flourish. Learning the power of her voice will serve her well as she grows.”

Her writing has been featured in three of our anthologies so far, and as a current student in our new class, Author’s Lab, she’s well on her way to publishing more amazing pieces for readers to enjoy. It’s been a thrill to watch her develop and grow throughout these workshops, and seeing a student thrive the way she has is the reason we work so hard at 916 Ink.
