Linda Hudson & the WFNS
Monday to Friday, July 15 – July 19, 2024
10:00am – 4:00pm
This workshop, for youth ages 11 – 14, will be an adventure into expanding the creative mind, and expressing it through images and the written word.
Participants will discover and explore character develop- ment and world building, and playing with language. The classes will delve into different genres and styles of writing with a focus on fiction (mystery, fantasy, etc).
We will have visits from professionally published authors in the morning, and will explore Lunenburg in the afternoons with the intention of writing outside.
Registration includes a Lunenburg School of the Arts tote bag and notebook for each participant.
Students should bring:
- Lunch
- Sunscreen
- Preferred writing tools (if they have any, but NOT a computer unless used specifically for learning aid.)
