The Young Writer's lab
Whether you're homeschooling, part of a nonprofit group, searching for a unique summer program, or a parent eager to enrich your child's creative skills, the Young Writers Lab (YWL) is an ideal choice. This program is specially designed to guide young minds into becoming published authors, offering a transformative journey in creative writing available throughout the year, including Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.
The Young Writers Lab caters to children aged 11 to 17 and focuses on the entire authorship process. A unique feature of our in-person and virtual classes is the collaborative effort where students work together to produce a group book, fostering teamwork and enhancing creative synergy. From the initial concept to the excitement of publication, students are supported every step of the way. The program culminates in a significant milestone: students write and publish their own books, marking their debut as young authors.
Understanding the need for flexibility in today's fast-paced world, the Young Writers Lab also offers on-demand courses and virtual learning options. These formats are perfect for fitting into various schedules and learning preferences, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to participate and thrive, regardless of their circumstances.
YWL empowers students to confidently step into the world of writing, equipping them with the skills to autograph their first published work and embrace their creative potential.
As a parent, I've been thrilled to see my child's growth in the Young Writers Lab. The collaborative book project was a highlight, teaching them the value of teamwork in creativity. Watching my child transform from a hesitant writer to a confident author has been a remarkable journey. The YWL team's dedication to nurturing young talent is truly commendable.
