Let your child’s imagination soar in this exciting four-week creative writing and publishing workshop. Young Writers Ink: Word Magic + Publishing blends playful creativity with real-world writing skills. Young writers (ages 10–13) will experiment with poetry, short stories, creative nonfiction, hybrid writing, and mixed media in a fun, supportive environment. Each session begins with a quick unjournaling warm-up, followed by short pieces of poetry or prose, hands-on creative activities, and time to develop longer pieces. Along the way, students will learn how to polish their work and submit to real contests and anthologies, building confidence and pride in their voices.
