(Important Note to Parents)

Many parents have asked us if we welcome children in our courses. We answer with a resounding, “yes!” Kids as young as eight have thrived in our courses and have even done better than adults. It’s likely because they haven’t developed bad habits that grown-ups have to unlearn. That said, please ask your child if he/she really wants to learn to write stories. Storywriting should be an enjoyable activity—not something you feel forced to do!

The idea is to make sure that the child wants to join. The interest has to come from the child, not the parent. Typically, a child who is interested in writing stories is avidly reading/watching/listening to stories. They may also have already attempted to write stories on their own already.

A child who is truly interested does very well in out writing courses. They often do better than adults.

However, there have been times when a child was just placed in our class by their parent. They don’t do well AND they dampen the mood of other participants.
