Learn From The Best!

Mrs. Z Summer School Workshop Series Day 1

If your young reader has a passion for storytelling – or if they're looking for something new and exciting to try this summer – this is the perfect opportunity to explore the world of writing. We are so excited to have the authors of the Mrs. Z's Class series in-store with free workshops for budding writers! 

The first of the three sessions will be guided by KATE MESSNER, author of Emma McKenna, Full Out, OLUGBEMISOLA RHUDAY-PERKOVICH, author of Synclaire Fields Knows The Score, and LINDA URBAN, author of Olive Little Gets Crafty. 

We'll begin with an introduction to the authors and their work followed by a short conversation about elements of writing (i.e. character development, dialogue, pacing, etc.) before getting into hands-on, guided exercises.

These workshops are designed for young writers from six to nine years old with limited spots available for attendees and their grownups. 

We highly recommend reading one or more books in the Mrs. Z's Class series (available and signed below) to prepare – they can be read in any order! On the day of the workshop, all you'll need is a notebook and a pencil or pen (and a passion for writing!).

And if you can't make it on this date, don't worry! We're offering three different workshops with different authors from the series. You're welcome to go to as many or as few of the days as you're able to as long as spots are available.

So, don't miss out on this once-in-a-blue-moon chance! After all, how often do you get to learn from real-life authors?
