Island Readers & Writers inspires Maine’s next generation of creative minds.
“‘I hope that they carry that spark with them and that hard work and determination.’ Author Alexandra Hinrichs worked with rural Maine students to mine stories from their own lives, then write them together. Island Readers & Writers ensures kids in remote areas get the creative experiences their peers might take for granted.”
