Online Workshops for Children/Young Adults
Many children are interested in writing, but often need help to channel their ability and encourage them to move forward. Professional advice can encourage creativity, whatever form that may take. Using email assignments, we explore where ideas come from and how to turn them into stories, basic story structure, plot development, creating characters, developing dialogue and more to help develop writing ability.
