2022 Share Your Story - Summer Program

The Summer session of our highly acclaimed Share Your Story Program begins June 6th! A few lucky participants will have their book illustrated, published and a chance to visit Stan on The Very Airy Library!

Aspiring writers ages 6-14 will participate in our 8 week, step-by-step program to create their very own book! From "brainstorming" to "final draft", your child will gain invaluable coaching & insight from real published authors! Weekly Zoom calls with these authors will reinforce the instructional videos and students will have an opportunity to ask questions and interact! Participants will also receive one weekly call with a writing coach! This unique and exciting program is truly a way to ignite a love of writing in your child!

Instruction From Professional Authors

Each Monday at 2:30 pm ET during the 8-week “course” your student will participate in a Zoom instructional session teaching a step of the writing process.  Your student will also get to hear from a published author and learn how they use this step in their own career. (Approximately 20 - 30 minutes)

Acclaimed Author, Kobi Yamadi

Each Thursday at 2:30 pm ET of the same week your student is invited to register for a live zoom call with other storytellers to meet the author of the week.
