Society of Young Inklings

Dates: Monday-Thursday 6/19/23-6/22/23
Time: 9 - 11 am (PT) // 12 - 2 pm (ET)
Ages: 9-14

Whether you want to create a magical land, a futuristic dystopia, or an alternate universe, the world of your story can be anything you can imagine. But how do you make your world feel real to your reader?

During our four days together in this Zoom summer camp, we'll practice techniques to build new worlds that feel real and alive to your readers. Campers will support each other in giving the right amount of information at the right time to make our worlds interesting places for our plot to unfold. This camp is designed to create a world from the ground up so no prior writing is required. Participants will be invited to share their creations in a supportive environment
