I’m delighted I’ll be returning to The Center for Fiction this summer (via Zoom) to teach a new speculative fiction workshop for young writers.

Supernatural Summer
July 17–20, 2023
Monday–Thursday
1–2:30pm EDT via Zoom

Designed for young writers, ages 9-12, our Supernatural Summer KidsWrite Workshop returns for 2023, focusing on fostering creativity and confidence in a fun, encouraging environment over the course of four days. As we write supernatural short stories, we’ll explore key elements of genre fiction, including character, dialogue, setting, and world building. We’ll also discuss revision strategies, practice reading our work to others, and review techniques for giving and receiving feedback.

Note: These online sessions typically sell out in advance, so if you have any young writers (ages 9-12) in your life who might be interested, please don’t wait to register. Also, please help spread the word on Twitter (or wherever folks are gathering post-Musk)!
