Summer Writing Camp @ Forest Hill Library

Are you a writer between the ages of 9+? Are you ready to write a story that hooks readers from start to finish and keeps them coming back for more like a good campfire tale? Join PhD researcher, teacher and writer Anna Dempsey for a 5-day writing camp to create one amazing story while learning how to build exciting plots, bring to life believable characters, write (and puncuate) quick dialogue, and use literary tricks that keep readers hooked.

Day 1: Find Your Story & SHAMPOO (aka literary devices)
Day 2: Characters We Root For and Plot, Plot, Plot
Day 3: Dun, Dun, Dun--The Big Incident!
Day 4: Snappy, Silly Dialogue and Voice
Day 5: Finishing Touches & Author Party

Each day includes guided lessons, writing time, sharing, and feedback. Breaks provided! By the end, you’ll have a finished story and personalised feedback to help you improve even more.

Whether you’re new to writing or already a word wizard, this camp is for anyone who loves stories and wants to write their own.

Materials are included, all you need to bring is a snack, packed lunch and water bottle!
