DECEMBER WRITING ACTIVITY

This month, we’re taking a break from our regularly scheduled contest. Instead, we’re giving you the gift of 24 writing prompts!

Click to download the free PDF below and follow along each day. Write a few sentences in response to each prompt. By December 31, email your favourite piece of writing to info@storystudio.ca (Maximum 250 words. Please include your first name, age and home province/country.)
We’ll share some of our favourite submissions online!

Support Special Spaces for Young Writers

Story Studio is proud to offer one of the few monthly writing contests for youth in Canada that is completely free and celebrates their creativity by publishing anthologies of their work. By joining our community of young writers—and the parents, grandparents, and teachers who support them—you can help us continue to inspire and empower kids through storytelling. Make a gift to our annual Spread the Words campaign and be part of a movement that gives every child a chance to write, create, and shine.
