For individuals entering Grades 6-8
In this week-long writers’ workshop, beginning and experienced writers alike will learn new techniques for crafting poetry and fiction, and all will present their work aloud at a daily “Open Mic.”
Through writing games, exercises, and revision techniques, participants will build skills to help them craft plot, character, and dialogue, as well as sharpen their ability to use tone, description, and figurative language.
Young writers will conclude the week with a collection of prompts, drafts, and polished pieces, and we will compile a literary magazine featuring the best of the week’s work! Instructor: Jason Digioia
