The still-to-be-named group of teenage wordsmiths will author a new chapter of the WITS program at the legendary Indianapolis institution. The focus for our Shortridge pupils will be a literary journal, both online and in print, one that we eventually hope will be entirely student-run.<\/p>\n<p>To help us get there, we&#8217;ve plugged in a pair of publication coaches, Natalie and Anthony, two first-year Butler MFA students from New York. They planned our first day&#8217;s programming, which included spirit animal introductions and a Wikipedia prompt. Both activities were well-received by the dozen Shortridge writers who answered our initial call-out. It was fantastic to get reacquainted with several students who remained at the school after the IPS restructuring, poets and storytellers who featured prominently in last spring&#8217;s edition of the Exclusive Ink lit mag.<\/p>\n<p>After almost five full years of WITS (!!!), we&#8217;re thrilled to finally be able to call two schools home. As the Shortridge publication project grows with the administration&#8217;s enthusiastic support, we know our outreach and influence will continue to expand.<\/p>\n<p>How exciting to get a glimpse of the future in a warming Friday sunset.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/wits\/files\/2016\/01\/group.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2358\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2358\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/wits\/files\/2016\/01\/group.png\" alt=\"group\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/wits\/files\/2016\/01\/group.png 960w, http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/wits\/files\/2016\/01\/group-659x439.png 659w, http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/wits\/files\/2016\/01\/group-768x512.png 768w, http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/wits\/files\/2016\/01\/group-700x467.png 700w, http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/wits\/files\/2016\/01\/group-332x221.png 332w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Butler Writers program made its much anticipated return to Shortridge High School on Friday, Jan. 29.
