Teens, Become a Spooky Story Spinner at the Ocean County Library Waretown Branch

January 7, 2025

WARETOWN – Hey, young adults - do you love to read a good scary story? Would you like to write one? Are you the next Karen McManus or Dean Koonce? Join Sarah Van Clef, Founder of The Social Writerly, for the Teen Ghost Story Workshop at the Ocean County Library Waretown Branch, 11 AM Saturday, January 25.

In this session for ages 12 to 18, you’ll learn the secrets of creating chilling, suspenseful tales that readers don’t want to put down, including scene setting, dialogue, accuracy, timelines and the logic behind the chain of events.

In addition to being The Social Writerly’s Lead Creative Instructor, South Amboy native Sarah Van Clef serves as the Reviews Editor for Philadelphia Stories. Her prose and poems have appeared there as well as in the NJ Bards Literary Anthology by Local Gems Poetry Press, Soup Can Magazine, Monmouth Review and other publications.
