Attention Readers:
This summer, 12Writing will be offering a special in-person
creative writing workshop for adolescents in the Bloomington-Normal area. The
main focus of this workshop will be fiction writing, although we might touch on
other creative writing genres, such as poetry and creative non-fiction, if the
students want to explore those areas as well. As a group, we will be focusing
on such topics as: creating relatable, multifaceted characters, turning
personal experience into fictional storytelling, and how to write realistic
dialogue. In the later sessions, the students will learn about how to be
critical readers, as well as how to give and receive feedback on story drafts.
We will be providing your student with worksheets and a
storage folder so all he or she needs to bring is their favorite pen or pencil
and enthusiasm for learning to be a more effective writer.
Our course will take place every Saturday for eight weeks starting May 19th and running until July 7th. Depending on demand, we may also be adding a second midweek course to this schedule. While registration is not open for this quite yet, keep checking back here to 12Writing for more information.
