This writing and workshopping intensive is for the Warriors fans! Erin Hunter's Warriors series provides great source material for young writers to create both fanfiction (stories using characters or other story elements form the Warriors series) and original works inspired the world of Warriors. From first draft to final draft, workshopping with other writers can improve the quality of your character development, narrative, tone, and authorial voice.  

With support and feedback from fellow writers, share your original character, clans, and storylines. Each learner will have an opportunity to share part of their current story and hear constructive feedback from their peers and the instructor. We will discuss each story's strengths, areas where the author could expand or clarify the story to improve it, and what we most enjoyed about the work. Whether you're starting a new story, working on expanding and continuing a story, or workshopping a completed first draft, you will get a week of focused writing/editing time with peers. 

Over the week, I will provide general feedback, as well as focusing on specific topics (such as writing dialogue or fight scenes) that are beneficial to the class as a whole. I will guide discussion and keep learners on topic, encourage them to engage with each other's stories, and model how to give and receive constructive feedback on a literary work.
