After-school and weekend writing programs

Johns Hopkins Montgomery County and Writopia Lab are now offering writing programs for students ages 9-18.

CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOPS FOR KIDS AND TEENS
Cost: $525/writer. Sliding scale available: $385 / $275 / $175
Classes run January 9 – March 18
 Workshop enrollment is ongoing. Fees are prorated for those who sign up after the first class.

• Ages 8-9: Saturdays from 10:15-11:45 am
• Ages 10-11: Tuesdays from 4-5:30 pm
• Ages 12-13: Saturdays from noon-1:30 pm
• Teens: Thursdays from 4-5:30 pm

Each workshop enrolls a maximum of 6 participants and is led by a published, award-winning writer and experienced teacher.

The workshops are peppered with original and fun writing exercises, but the primary goal is to help students pursue their own writing interests and to *complete* excellent pieces.

The Results:

• Each participant leaves the workshop with at least one polished piece of original writing.
• Completed pieces are published in Writopia’s online journal, and workshop participants are invited to read their work at Barnes & Noble and other local bookstores.
• Students are encouraged to submit to contests and publications. For the past 4 years, Writopia writers have won more regional and national Scholastic Writing Awards than have any other group of kids in the country!
