Course Description
Creative Writing Workshop for Teens is an introductory course in creative writing tailored specifically for teens. Students will get the opportunity to experiment with different genres like fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Throughout the course of the workshop students will develop and hone the craft of writing as they find their own voice. This course will also give them the space and platform to express their creativity.
During this highly interactive workshop, our facilitator (an NYCC graduate with a Master’s degree in Creative Writing) introduces and guides the budding young writers into areas of:
- Writing fiction
- Theme, characters, plot, setting, point of view
- Writing poetry
- Imagery, metaphor, rhythm, voice
- Writing non-fiction
- Prose poems, lyrical essays, short stories
