In a World… (Fantasy Stories)

In a world that’s not so different from our own, it turns out that anything can happen. Whether we’re drawn to the adventures and happy endings of fairy tales or epics about dragons and wizards, there’s something special about creating a place with rules of its own. In this fantasy writing workshop, young authors will learn about world-building to create a uniquely magical story inspired by myths and fairy tales from all over the world. By the end of the workshop, they’ll create fabulous characters to fight or frolic their way through exciting imaginary worlds in original short stories.

About Write Away Workshops

We know that young authors have the power and imagination to go beyond the five-paragraph essay. In Write Away Workshops, students explore a multitude of genres and subjects, and develop their voices as writers. Groups write freely and participate in imaginative writing activities and lessons. Young writers leave each workshop with a piece to be proud of, as well as a newfound understanding of the topic and new friends.
