FALL PROGRAMS

These virtual team-based storytelling programs will show your child just how much they're capable of when given creative empowerment and a team of kindred spirits!

Spring 2023 Product Hubspot GFX 425x425Young Novelist Program | Fall 2023

Back by popular demand, Written Out Loud is proud to present The Young Novelist’s Program, which offers the proven benefit of our small-group peer structure, as well as the freedom to write every word of your own book. This is a 20-week, three phase program for serious, dedicated writers only, ages 11 and up.

In phase 1, you’ll meet once per week (virtually) with a small group of fellow novelists, plus a Story Director, who will help you “break” your story - that means get down your outline and structure. Then in phase 2 you’ll begin your First Draft Writing Sprint - which is actually a joy, once you’ve cracked your structure. Finally, in phase 3 after some deep and detailed feedback, you’ll revise your draft into your final manuscript, which is due to the Written Out Loud Publishing Division on the last day of the program.

You’ll receive a copy of your very own published book in 2024!
