Scribes Youth Writing Workshop: Writing (Im)Possible Worlds

Description

Calling all middle school writers! This generative fiction writing workshop will encourage students to imagine big. Innovation is the goal. Students will use pen and paper as tools of invention. The line between real and imagined shifts all the time. At one point, computers and smartphones were the subjects of dreams. Now, they play a central role in many of our everyday lives. So much so that it’s tough to imagine a world without them. Students in this class will engage narrative techniques such as character and plot development to begin dreaming up their own (im)possible stories and (im)possible worlds. About the Instructor Ra’Niqua Lee is a PhD student of English at Emory University. She has an MFA in fiction from Georgia State University. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Split Lip Magazine, Smokelong Quarterly, Indiana Review, Passages North, and elsewhere. She loves all things magic, mystery, and cows. 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.
