Wild Words: Adirondack Teen Writing Anthology is a publication from the Adirondack Center for Writing, created to give teens a venue to publish their original creative writing. More than 150 teens from schools across the North Country of New York State submitted writing for consideration, and 70 pieces were selected, including works from six Northwood students, pictured below (left to right): Jacob Slagel ’26, Cambrie-Elizabeth Encalade ’27, Sasha Luhur ’27, Willow Zhao ’27, Hamish Riddell ’26, and Uma Laguna-Curtis ’26.
Uma Laguna-Curtis ’26 had a selection in the first anthology edition last year. “This was an amazing experience, and I’m so grateful to have had my work published two years in a row!” she said.
Hamish Riddell is proud to have his writing selected. “It feels great to have my work published after working so hard on it. I had a feeling it would be published,” Riddell said.
Dean of Academic Affairs and Faculty Noel Carmichael appreciates the opportunity the anthology offers Northwood students. “It is so great to have an opportunity for students to share their work with a wider audience and feel what it is like to be a published author,” Carmichael said.
