Writing Short Fiction
3 Sunday sessions: July 13, 20, 27 | 3-5pm | Taught by Matt Goodman | For ages 11-16
Fiction can be terrifyingly long, and writing your lengthy epic can seem both noble and scary. But fiction can also be short, and in this workshop, that's the way we'd like to keep it. If you want to practice writing short stories so you can move on to crafting Moby Dick-length epics or to refine your ability to pack the best writing into the shortest length, then this workshop is for you. Throughout the workshop we'll examine a few short story writers and how they formulate plot and define character in their work. We'll also have writing sessions where we simply sit and write - how else are we going to get better?

I'm SOOOOO Bored
3 Monday sessions: July 14, 21, 28 | 3-4:30pm | Taught by Kate Ackerman | For ages 9-12
School's out for the summer! Now what? Help us write a kids-only guide to exploring NYC's five boroughs. Contribute your expert advice as we create a guidebook that will reveal the city's best-kept secrets. From YOUR perspective. Maybe you'll let us in on the best place to go in NYC when you need a good laugh? Or your favorite scooter routes? Or perhaps the most delicious Italian ice cart in your neighborhood? Above all else, you will leave this class with a comprehensive guide to banishing boredom!

Scrapbook Your Brooklyn!
2 Wednesday sessions: July 23, 30 | 4-5:30pm | Taught by Rebecca Huval | For ages 9 -11
Ever wanted to hold your memories of Brooklyn in the palm of your hand? Well now you can! With this workshop, you'll write about your
neighborhood and save mementos like ticket stubs and leaves between the pages of your own scrapbook. Doodle away and make your journal a work of art!
