Join the Rainbow Writers' Collective, an inclusive and supportive space for young writers aged 14+ to express their creativity and connect with like-minded peers. In this workshop-style club, students of all writing levels will explore various writing techniques, share their work, and provide and receive constructive feedback in a judgment-free environment. Each session will feature engaging activities such as writing prompts, fun exercises, and open discussions to inspire and improve writing skills. For example: Week 1: Identity Exploration – Discover personal storytelling and self-expression. Week 2: Creating Vivid Characters – Develop detailed and memorable characters. Week 3: Setting and World-Building – Craft immersive and believable worlds. Week 4: Plot and Structure – Build compelling narratives and plot outlines. Week 5: Dialogue and Voice – Write authentic dialogue and find your unique narrative voice. Week 6: Conflict and Resolution – Create engaging conflict and satisfying resolutions. The class is structured in a round-table format, encouraging interaction through discussions and peer feedback. My teaching style is interactive and collaborative, fostering a welcoming atmosphere where every voice is valued. Parents can rest assured that this space is safe and supportive, designed to nurture the unique voices within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Parental Guidance
I will not be actively teaching any sensitive topics, but I will aim to foster an environment where students are free to share their creative work, whatever the subject may be within reason. While following the safety and content guidelines here on Outschool, I hope to provide a space in which LGBTQIA+ students can express themselves through creative writing and find support.
