Give your aspiring young authors the unique opportunity to work with a published author by employing an online writer in residence, right in your own home. Many children are interested in writing, but often they need help to channel their ability in a particular direction and give them the encouragement they need to move forward. Having access to professional advice can encourage a child in their creativity, whatever form that may take. Through a series of e mail assignments, we explore where ideas come from and how to turn them into stories, basic story structure, plot development, creating characters, developing dialogue and more to help develop writing ability. You can start a set of workshops at any time. After you register for a workshop, you will receive your assignments via e mail. You complete the assignments at your own pace and send them to me by return e mail. There is no time limit and participants may take as long as they wish to complete their full set of workshops. Further details and registration information are available at http://www.simon-rose.com/online_wkshp_yngadults.htm |
