Ever dreamed of being a famous author… but like, actually holding your own book in your hands? (Not just scribbling “Chapter 1” on a napkin and calling it a masterpiece?)In this super-creative class, kids 8–12 team up with a real professional writer (that’s me—no ghostwriters here!) to write and illustrate their VERY OWN original book. We’re talking epic adventures, hilarious mishaps, talking animals who roast their owners, or whatever wild idea pops into your brain.
You’ll craft the story, draw the pictures (stick figures with personality count!), design a killer cover that screams “bestseller,” and even add a fancy “About the Author” bio on the back flap (perfect for bragging about your pet goldfish or your world-record sock collection). We’ll finish it off with proper binding so it looks like it belongs on a real bookshelf… because it does!
The grand finale? A legit book signing party where you’ll autograph copies for family, friends, and maybe even that one kid who said your ideas were “weird” (spoiler: weird is awesome).
No experience needed—just bring your imagination, a sense of humor, and maybe some snacks (inspiration works better with cookies). Warning: side effects may include uncontrollable giggles, sudden plot twists at dinner time, and parents begging to read your book before bedtime.
Spots are limited—because legends-in-the-making can’t all fit in one room! Sign up now and let’s turn your wildest stories into bound books that future you will still be proud of.
This is a two week course taking place from 9am to 12:30pm on Monday June 8th, Tuesday June 9th, Friday June 12th, Monday June 15th, and Tuesday June 16th with the book signing event on Thursday, June 18th at 7pm.
Academy is $95 (including the published best seller, of course!), with $35 owed to the instructor for supplies on the first day of class.
