Teen Writers: Take A Class During February Vacation Week!

Teens said they wanted a creative space during February vacation week that didn't feel like school, so we put together a 4-day class: You'll dive into your imagination, eat some lunch, then decide if you'd like to get back into those creative waters!

Creative Writing in a Chaotic World

Real talk: it’s been a tough two years. For some of us, the state of the world has blocked our natural stream of creativity. If your writing practice has collected a little dust, you’re not alone; let's brush it off together! In this online week-long class, get back to your passion through low-key exercises and light-hearted connection with your fellow writers via live video conferencing (Zoom). We’ll dabble across genres — even drawing inspiration from other mediums such as TV shows and music — and revitalize our craft.

Each afternoon will feature an optional session that will include one of the following remote activities:

Silent group writing with music and available Q&A chat with the writing instructor
Book club silent reading party and optional chat
Guest instructor session on varying topics
Group movie viewing followed by a class Q&A about craft techniques reflected in the movie
Virtual field trips to museums and other virtual venues.
Online writing games
Open Mic / sharing

This class is open to beginner and more experienced teen writers working in any genre, ages 13-18 only. Whatever style of writing you want to try or expand, bring your ideas, questions, and drafts, and create something fun in the company of other word lovers. Register here.
