Teen Fiction Writing Workshop: Unlock the Story You Want to Tell

Got a story buzzing in your brain but not sure how to start—or where to take it? In this two-hour, hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into fun writing exercises to help you spark fresh ideas and shape them into short stories that actually work.

We’ll explore different ways to structure your story, from plot twists to emotional arcs, and offer optional chances to share your work and get feedback in a supportive space. Come ready to write, create, and surprise yourself! Participants will have the opportunity to share their work along the way. 

Registration for this program is required.
