30-Day Young Writer's Regimen
Our 30-Day Young Writer's Regimen, which had its inaugural run this spring, is back—by popular demand!
Our hope is that, over the course of the 30-Day Regimen for Young Writers, you will be able to conduct your own mini-writing camp. Your students can create a new body of work—one that includes full drafts as well as brilliant, glimmering pieces of work that they would not otherwise have written…from poems to stories to wild and wooly plotlines.
The wonderful thing about young writers is that their imaginations are still often buoyant and overflowing. This writing regimen will help your most effervescent young writers find some structure. And, let's face it, some students are reluctant writers. This writing regimen will also kick-start the imagination, hopefully inspiring those who need it most.
N.E. Bode has teamed up with the editors of The Southeast Review at Florida State University's Creative Writing Program to create this 30-Day Regimen for Young Writers. The exercises were designed by N.E. Bode, also known as Julianna Baggott, the bestselling author of four novels for adults, five novels for younger readers, and three collections of poetry, in collaboration with the editors of The Southeast Review.
Each weekday morning for the next six weeks (30 days) you will receive a colorful, jam-packed email that will include the following:
* A Writing Exercise to jumpstart the imagination
* A Quote from a Famous Author to read aloud to your class for a discussion
* A Riff Word to prompt a free-write
* Mimicry Reading-Writing Exercises. We will supply a passage from a children's novel to be read aloud, and then we will explain different ways children can use their listening skills and hone their ears to mimic the style that's just been presented to them
* Beyond the Page. These exercises are designed to take your students into other projects that go beyond what they've written—everything from research to art projects and beyond
* Twice a week you will receive Craft Talks from Bestselling, Award-Winning Authors of picture books, middle-grade, YA, and adult novels written solely for this project. These writers will be talking about what they were like as young writers, their craft, their reading lives, and so on. Here are a few of our authors already on board: Ethan Long, Emily Franklin, Anne Ursu, Quinn Dalton, Laurel Synder, Kate Bernheimer, and Paul Shepherd
* There will also be a weekly missive from N.E. Bode—a funny message from one writer's desk to another writer's desk.
The cost is only $10 for the entire 30-day package. (Title I schools, please contact us for scholarship and fee-waiver information.)
Please join us for our inaugural expedition! And, by the end of these thirty days, we hope that your students will have written enough brilliant passages to keep their imaginations brewing and their pens moving for a very long time.
