Writing for Kids 101 with Tina Tocco

We’ll use weekly in-class prompts — everything from starter sentences to images, magical objects to inanimate objects — to help you generate new work in every session. In addition, you’ll receive (completely optional) take-home exercises to keep you writing during the week. Expect to write to at least one prompt in every class and to comment on your classmates’ pieces. Since this workshop is generative, we’ll stick to positive feedback and optional sharing to keep everyone’s experience relaxed and fun. Come explore the children’s writing genre while generating the beginnings of multiple stories (maybe even some you’d like to build on). New writers and writers new to the children’s genre are welcome. Geared toward writing for middle grade (ages 8-12) and young adult (ages 13-18).
