Creative Writing Summer
Summer Address:
Jim Fabris, Master Writing Teacher, is offering creative writing workshops for youth who want to explore and develop their writing ability over the summer break. Workshop fee: $200 per session.
Session 1: Memoir Writing
Jim will lead the group through a series of games and activities designed to help young writers mine their memories and other true stories for great writing ideas.
Participants will:
transform unforgettable experiences into unforgettable pieces of writing
create compelling descriptions by appealing to all five of the readers senses
identify important life turning points and use writing to reflect on their meaning
Session 2: Fiction Writing
The group will engage in activities to spark the young writers imaginations, so they can create original works of fiction.
Participants will learn how to:
develop complex three dimensional characters
create compelling plots that are rooted in the characters conflicts
write dramatic and dynamic dialogue that both develops the characters and pushes the plot forward
Both sessions will provide group activities, individual writing time, and sharing time. Creative freedom will always be valued and encouraged.
