Writing Short Fiction: A Workshop for Teens 14 to 16 (#128135) - $149.00
About this Camp
Learn to tell compelling stories that capture your unique voice while making every word matter.
This four-day workshop will help teen writers explore, appreciate and understand the crucial elements of short stories by reading acclaimed works, prompt-writing in class and participating in an MFA-style workshop where they present their own writing and offer assistance to others. By combining in-class discussion, small-group activities, lecture, sharing and constructive feedback, students will understand the importance and nuance of character, plot, motivation and dialogue, as well as the benefits of feedback and revision.
In this workshop you will learn to:
- create compelling, captivating characters
- understand how desire and conflict drive a plot
- effectively critique others and receive feedback
- understand the revision process
Bring your own preferred writing tool - pen, laptop or tablet. There will be some free time for writing in class, and additional writing will be completed out of class. By the end of the week you will have the tools, resources and guidance to help you craft a unique, beginning-to-end short story of your own.
