WordUP! Creative Writing Class for Kids 10-14 In-Person
Join two-time Scholastic Art and Writing Awards gold medalist Claire Yang for a week-long class designed to inspire and guide young writers in expressing themselves through poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction. Each of the five classes will focus on a different topic, and include writing prompts and personalized feedback. On the last day of the program we will have a small celebration on the patio during which kids will have the option to share their work and will learn about publishing pathways.
In addition to her Scholastic Gold Medals in poetry, Claire is a multiple Gold Key winner in short story, poetry and flash fiction. A student at the Union County Vocational and Technical Schools, she is a senior editor at The Dawn Review and Polyphony Lit. She has taught creative writing at summer camps and her organization Word Up! aims to help youth find their voice through writing workshops, mentorships and competitions.
By registering here, you are signing up for all 5 days of the class.
