Competition Writing

Wednesdays from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. for Grades 4- 7

Students within the team will work on written pieces to be submitted to national competitions throughout the year. Under the guidance of an YWA instructor, team members will learn and explore a variety of writing genres (i.e. fiction, non-fiction, poetry & essay writing) and then craft pieces to submit. Student work will also be submitted for publication within a partner magazine, as well as within an YWA Anthology, which will be made available on Amazon.

 

Mystery Writers’ Workshop

Tuesdays from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. for Grades 3-6

You will start out in “Detective Science School,” learning the tricks of the trade by uncovering fingerprints, heights by footprints, “glass” fragmentation and more. Next, you will learn how to write an unsolvable, plot-twisting mystery. By the end of class, you’ll take home a bound book chock full of red herrings and twists. Students will also be have the option to publish their story within an YWA Anthology that will be available on Amazon.

Campfire Stories

Thursdays from 1:15 – 2:15 p.m. for Ages 4 -6

Get ready for fall by writing your very own scary story! Together, we will read kid-friendly ghost stories, and then we’ll help you to create your own ghoulish characters, an exciting plot and a spooky setting. By the end, you’ll have your very own illustrated story to share around the campfire.
