Young Authors' Club

Wednesdays, through August 14. Kids ages 9 to 11 are invited to explore their creativity, improve writing skills, and have fun in this kids-only writing workshop. Based on the successful Story Week® method of creative writing, young writers will be led through a series of games, creative exercises, and guided visualizations as they develop their own stories from first idea through revision, culminating in a reading party for family and friends. Club leader Kathie Bergquist has an MFA in Creative Writing and teaches writing at Columbia College Chicago. She has two years' experience teaching creative writing workshops for fourth to sixth graders in Chicago public schools. Session fee is $275.
