In this enriching summer writing workshop, young authors will embark on a journey through the realms of imagination. Led by Melanie White, an experienced writing teacher and author, each session is designed to ignite creativity, foster storytelling skills, and empower young minds to express themselves with confidence.
Throughout the workshop, students will be encouraged to unleash their creativity and critical thinking skills through a variety of writing prompts and challenges. Students will have the opportunity to receive feedback on their work, learn valuable revision techniques, and share a finished product.
At the heart of Emerging Authors is a supportive and inclusive environment, where every voice is valued and every story is celebrated. By the end of the workshop, participants will emerge as confident storytellers, equipped with the tools and inspiration to continue their writing journey.
