Classes for high school students
Ready to take your MG/YA writing to the next level? This workshop is for any middle grade (ages 8–12) and young adult (ages 13–18) writer with a work-in-progress. Maybe you’re trying to polish your novel or complete that short story you’ve been stuck on. Get feedback from writers who, like you, love writing for kids. Come with your current project, and be prepared to have fun—and work!—in a supportive atmosphere. We’ll talk about the revision process, analyze published short stories and/or novel excerpts, swap book recommendations, give each other tips and hints, and do some writing prompts (if time permits).
