About Woven Word Creative Writing Workshops
|
Woven Word Young Writers is dedicated to fostering a love of creative writing in young writers ages 7-18. Woven Word Young Writers offers afternoon workshops which meet weekly in Hadley and on Zoom throughout the academic year. Woven Word creates a writing environment infused with fun and challenge. Inventive prompts and positive feedback are offered to help writers understand the strengths of their work. Together we build a writers community.
During the summer Woven Word offers week-long full day programs featuring a river houseboat for a fun, intensive writing adventure. If you'd like to learn more about Woven Word Summers on the Houseboat, go to "Woven Word Summer Program" or click here. Woven Word also offers in-school programs that serve as a workshop for students and a teacher training. Woven Word helps students improve confidence, fluency, and enjoyment in their writing.

I've been circling for thousands of years
and I still don't know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?"
