Join us for a summer teen writing retreat from the Atlanta Writers Club!

A day-long writing retreat designed for teens. It’s a fun way to build their writing skills and also get more
out of the reading they have to do for school and want to do for enjoyment.

Presenters are published authors and members of the Atlanta Writers Club.

The Painkillers

Third-year medical resident Jack Wheaton has been assigned an intern. The young mystery doctor who he is asked to supervise is impressive in every way. Smart and beautiful, Anita Thomas demonstrated a level of knowledge and expertise beyond her years. Soon, strange things begin to erupt in Anita’s orbit.

When Jack eventually demands an explanation, he discovers that she is a biomedical prodigy with a billion-dollar secret being pursed by pharmaceutical assassins bent on extracting everything she knows.

When they are finished, they will dispose of Anita and Jack . . . permanently.

The Exodus Heresy

In Pursuit of the Dream: Alkyz princess, Shon Tai wakes to an apocalyptic nightmare of ancient Earth’s destruction. Not just a sign, but an absolute Truth, an Amen. Commanded by their fathers, rulers of the world’s two most powerful nations, Shon Tai and So Beni First Son, Myrc are sent on a clandestine mission to the Round Table, the Efilu capital.

Machiavellian plots abound as Efilu potentates stalk them to reveal her Amen and subjugate the Efilu Greater Society. The independent societies prepare to resist, positioning for war. Can Shon Tai and Myrc work together to prevent the end of the world?

Glenn Parris

Glenn Parris writes in the genres of sci-fi, fantasy, and medical mystery.  Considered by some an expert in Afrofuturism, he is a self-described lifelong sci-fi nerd. His interest in the topic began as a tween before the term Afrofuturism was even coined. As a graduate of The Bronx High School of Science, as were Samuel R. Delany, and Neil de Grasse Tyson, he was in good company to have his interests cultivated.

Originally from New York City,  Glenn Parris is an alumnus of  The Bronx High School for Science, Fordham University and SUNY Buffalo School of Medicine.

Parris migrated south to escape the cold and snow, but this Emory Medicine alum fell in love with the southern charms found in the state of Georgia, and within his wife, Carla.  He joined the Atlanta Writers Club in 2011 and credits much of his growth as a writer to that organization’s support and activities.
