Discover the delightful genre of writing stories for kids. We’ll use in-class prompts—everything from starter sentences and evocative images to magical and inanimate objects—to ignite your creativity and help you generate new work. Then, you’ll have the opportunity to share your work and give and receive constructive feedback in a low-pressure atmosphere. Optional take-home exercises will keep you motivated and writing during the week. Whether you want to write for publication, yourself, or your grandkids, or simply explore the world of children’s literature, get the tools and confidence to craft tales that will captivate young minds.
