If you’ve ever wondered what magic happens when kids are given space, guidance, and permission to create, then let me tell you about the Children’s Book Writing Nook Workshop Series - a transformative creative experience I launched starting in Jan.
This virtual workshop series is designed to guide young storytellers on a journey from inspiration to publication, meeting them where they are and helping them discover their voices in a safe, fun, and interactive environment.
What the Workshop Series Covers
The Writing Nook is structured as a multi-part series—each session building on the last to help kids and young writers grow their confidence and craft:
Part 1: Crafting Your Story
This session kicks off the series by helping participants turn their real-world experiences into compelling narratives. We explore the elements that make a story engaging—structure, pacing, vivid details, and prompts that spark imagination. Young writers learn to bring their ideas to life on the page through guided activities and creative exercises. Link
Part 2: Illustrating Your Story
Stories aren’t just about words—they’re about bringing characters and worlds to life visually too. In our second workshop, we dive into illustration techniques, from free-hand drawing to exploring digital options, so kids can express themselves through both text and imagery. Link
Part 3: Publishing Your Story
The final session helps young creators understand how to share their stories with the world. We explore different publishing styles and what it takes to prepare work for a broader audience—whether it’s for family and friends or something bigger. This session features insights from expert guests to bring real-world context into the experience. Link
Each session is hosted live on Zoom and recorded for registrants, making it accessible and convenient for families everywhere to participate.
Why This Series Matters
Stories are how we make sense of our world- and your stories deserve to be heard. The Writing Nook isn’t about perfection or polished manuscripts; it’s about nurturing confidence and a lifelong love of expression.
Workshops like this amplify those opportunities - and I’m so thrilled to bring them to life.
Hope to see you there!
