This writing workshop is for the Wings of Fire fans! Tui T. Sutherland's popular series provides great source material for young writers to create both fanfiction (stories using characters or other story elements form the WoF series) and original works inspired the world of Wings of Fire. 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, dragon species, 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. Bring something new each week or use this class to motivate you through a longer piece of writing! 

Weekly topics will be student-directed based on stories students share and questions they have about their work. Some meetings will focus on general feedback, while others may focus on a specific topic (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 direct them in how to give and receive constructive feedback on a literary work.
