- Description
This is more of a workshop than a class–there are no grades, no pressure, and no “right answers.”
We will play, imagine, write, and share—every time we meet.
And yes, I’ll be writing too. We’re in this together.
Each session begins with short, fun writing warm-ups to get ideas flowing, followed by creative literary prompts designed to spark imagination, curiosity, and voice. We’ll write during the workshop, then have the chance (never the obligation) to share our work in a supportive, respectful space.
Writers are encouraged to keep a journal for writing between sessions—stories, thoughts, poems, overheard lines, strange ideas—anything that wants to be written down.
This workshop is for students who like stories, wonder about words, enjoy imagining “what if,” or simply want a place where their ideas are taken seriously and their voices matter.
Come curious. Come brave. Come ready to write.
