Writing Wizards
Does your child ever create a story from scratch, making up wild characters and fantastical places just for the fun of it? The Thurber House Writing Wizards workshops offer a unique opportunity for young people to be with kids who have similar interests in self-expression through the written word.
In these workshops, your son or daughter will be taught by teachers who are writers themselves, and who love nothing more than to encourage young people to stretch their creative writing muscles. Check out the lineup of workshops for 2012 and register for classes on our website or by downloading the 2012 Writing Wizards brochure.
