On Wednesday, November 7, 2007, 826 Boston Executive Director Daniel Johnson & Programs Coordinator Hannah Nolan-Spohn taught a workshop at the Write On Media Matters Writing Conference, sponsored by The Boston Globe, UMass Boston, Project:Think Different and WriteBoston.
High School students in attendance knew they were in for a different kind of workshop once they saw the title, Bigfoot Orders Vegetarian Burrito at Roxbury Taco Hut!!! Writing Tabloid Fiction. But once they realized just how fun bad writing can be, they really got into it.
For a selection of their work inspired by such worthy publications as The Sun, The National Enquirer, and The Weekly World News, take a look at the latest addition to your grocery-store checkout lanes: The Once Upon A Times.
