Do you love stories, poetry, fantasy, comics, graphic novels or just have fun playing with words? Then Thurber House’s Young Writers’ Studio is THE place for you. You’ll meet other young writers and artists, learn from experienced teachers and create new pieces from inspiring prompts and engaging writing exercises. This fall we’re going to explore the do’s and don’ts of novel writing, how to create substantive tension, situations and complications in fiction, and play a few creative games from THE WRITER’S TOOLBOX. We’ll also have a visit from a local author to discuss craft and the writing life.
Young Writers’ Studio is for 9th through 12th grade students and our fall session starts on Wednesday, September 16 at 6:30pm at Thurber House. All levels of writers are welcome. We typically spend the first hour workshopping writing brought in by young writers. Then we take a snack break and round out the second hour writing.
Don’t worry about grades, but just getting better at writing in a very supportive and fun atmosphere!
