YOUNG AUTHORS WORKSHOP: Have you ever dreamed of being a published
author? Don't let your dreams be dreams! Start writing today with a special
workshop on finding and generating inspiration for your own creative stories. We'll
talk about where ideas hide, how to bring them to life on the page, and how to
keep your momentum and motivation running strong.
This will be part
of a three-part workshop series for tweens and teens interesting in improving
their writing and working towards someday publishing finished work. The
workshops will work to prepare students to take on National Novel Writing Month
in November. It is not required to attend any to enroll in the National Novel
Writing Month. Everyone is encouraged to give it a go!
