Creative Writing

Nurture storytelling skills by creating game narratives, worlds, and complete literary works.

Students will be introduced to the main elements of story–characters, plots, world-building, and much more!–and learn ways to develop these elements together into a full-fledged narrative.

They’ll examine characteristics of “good” and “bad” writing styles, check out ways to structure their stories, and experiment with a wide range of genres.

Get inspiration from fun tools, resources, and images, and learn how to take their ideas and nurture them into a story map with the help of outlines, engaging questionnaires, and templates. From first drafts to final edits, it’s all right here–and with the help of an expert instructor and mentor, it’s more accessible than ever.

Ages: 6 years old to 18+, with lessons tailored to challenge students at their individual skill levels.

Accommodations: Instructors are trained to support all adaptive devices for an inclusive learning experience.
