Upcoming Young Writers Groups

What an exciting year 2011 has been! And here we are in 2012 with many more opportunities for young writers to hone their skills and be creative together. This year, we're going to try running a couple Inkaholics groups simultaneously, with two different age groups. Here's what we have in the works:

Inkaholics 8 (Middle School)
6-week Collaborative Writers Group for Middle Schoolers
Ages: 12-15, intermediate
Dates: Saturdays, January 14-February 18, 2012
Time/Location: 2:00-4:00 p.m. @ Panera Bread (Powers & S Carefree)
Cost: $75 for the entire workshop
Participants: 6-8

Participants learn to work together to craft a story and contribute their own ideas and writing to the finished product.Every student will receive ONE FREE COPY of the final, professionally-designed, printed copy of the novella after the workshop ends.

Inkaholics 9 (High School)
6-week Collaborative Writers Group for High Schoolers

The older Inkaholics group will have longer write-at-home scenes, plus an opportunity to advance toward real, paid publication IF the final novella meets market standards.Otherwise, we will self-publish, and each student will receive ONE FREE COPY of the final, professionally-designed, printed copy of the novella after the workshop ends.
