Welcome to Deep Speaks, our newly-virtual celebration of the Spring 2020 semester of the Young Author Project. Below, you’ll be able to watch videos of representative writers from each of our workshops reading their pieces out loud. Hungry for more? Click here to read all five Spring 2020 Young Author Project anthologies, which have been digitized for free for the first time ever as our gift to Savannah. Furthermore, instead of crowning a single writer as our Spring 2020 Deep Laureate, we’re bestowing the title on each and every Young Author Project participant. We honor our Spring 2020 writers, whose tenacity and dedication to their craft even in the midst of a global pandemic inspired us all. Click here to read a speech by Fall 2019 Deep Laureate Angel Price-Montgomery reflecting on what her Young Author Project experience has meant to her. Thank you for your magic, Savannah. See you next semester.
