We will spend the week learning the essentials of writing and storytelling in a supportive setting. As a group, we’ll go over plot, tension, voice, and other aspects of storytelling across different formats and styles, using a diverse range of examples. Whatever you write, we’ll focus on the story and what makes it shine—what keeps readers reading and audiences interested. This camp will include ample time for writing and creative exercises, opportunities for feedback, mini-projects, and neighborhood outings.
