**Our workshop experiences will take place at various locations, so please make note of where your favorites are happening. We’re so excited to write with you!

AGES 9-12

All workshops for ages 9-12 are already in session.

AGES 12-15

Sharpen up your storytelling by working on fiction elements: plot, characters, dialogue, all the vivid stuff that’s fun to make up in your head! Don’t know whether your work will be flash fiction, a short story, a novel, something else…? Catherine will help you with pacing, too, as your story concept unfolds.

Dungeons & Dragons is a collective storytelling game played amongst friends with dice telling you what you can and can't do. You are cordially invited to come play D&D over the course of six weeks in this online campaign -- to build a character and go on an adventure with us. What makes this particular D&D game unique is that we will be taking breaks to allow writers space to write the story of their character, with the hope that -- at the end of the workshop -- the story will continue.

AGES 15-18

Over four 3 hour sessions, students will be taught the technical form and rules of screenwriting, as well as the story elements of a feature film. These will include three act structure, conflict and resolution, and The Hero’s Journey. Students will outline their film and develop character biographies before writing a 7-12 page screenplay. Screenplays will come from a variety of prompts encouraging students to write about themselves or their experiences, within a scope that could be practically produced by the student following the completion of the class. Students will be given the opportunity to share with and receive feedback from their peers and instructor.
