We have helped over 12,000 youth become young writers through our Story Maker workshops!

We offer 4.5 hour long workshops for small groups or school classes, ages 7-13. We bring our instructor and volunteers into the classroom, and work one-on-one with youth to develop participants’ narrative skills, while getting them excited about writing and literacy. Using our StorySheets as a framework to build their ideas, participants write their own unique stories. We then take these stories and publish them: in our Junior program for younger grades, participants create picture books which we print as bound, illustrated copies, while in the Senior program, participants create individual short stories or scenes that are combined into a digital or print anthology.
