Writing Workshops

Honing the Craft of Writing

Our Writing Workshops are designed to support students with writing skill development. Workshops are led by trained writers who come to classrooms as Teaching Artists to guide students through hands-on writing exercises that help them learn about and practice the craft of writing.

How It Works

Educators interested in our Writing Workshops can request the dates and times that work best for their classrooms. Our sessions are open to students in grades 3-12. All Writing Workshops are offered at no cost to Title I schools.

“Alyssa is a phenomenal author and educator. Students connected with her story and felt inspired and empowered to tell their own.”

–Beth B., Cardozo Education Campus

“My class loved the visit. They were so excited to meet an author and illustrator. They also loved receiving a book! They were independently making connections to our text today from our discussion.”

– Madeline B., John Lewis Elementary School

“Students were excited and engaged with the author and asked lots of questions. Some of them even asked follow-up questions and were genuinely interested because of the author’s authenticity and vulnerability.”

–Danielle J., EL Haynes PCS
