Scribes Youth Writing Workshop: Making Your Very Own Monster

Description

We spend a lot of time following the heroes of stories. But what about the villains? Come have fun in this workshop where we will design the perfect antagonist for story. Maybe it's a monster, or a ghost, or even a sneaky trickster. Whoever your "bad" might be, we'll craft them to be the kind that readers love (or love to hate.) About the Instructor Hugh “H. D.” Hunter is a storyteller, teaching artist, and community organizer from Atlanta, Georgia. He’s the author of two self-published books, the Futureland trilogy, and Something Like Right, as well as the winner of several indie book awards for multicultural fiction. Hugh is committed to stories about Black kids and their many expansive worlds. About the Workshop Series At the Wren’s Nest, our mission is to cultivate the next generation of writers and readers by championing the power of using your voice to tell your story. This fall, we’re hosting five writing workshops for middle-grade writers (grades 5-8), each led by a professional local writer and focused on a unique topic, from writing basics to journalism to poetry. These in-person workshops are open to middle-grade students in Georgia. Spaces are limited, and admission will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. For each workshop, a $10 registration fee includes workshop attendance, museum admission, a notebook and writing utensil, and light refreshments.
