Writing SUPER! Creative Kidlit

This is your opportunity to work with an internationally acclaimed author and presenter to break out from the norms of your comfort zone to challenge yourself - explore what makes you and your ideas unique, and how to harness the energy of enthusiasm to differentiate yourself as an artistic creator.  Workshop exercises will take a deep dive into:
  • concept generation
  • concept analysis
  • concept development
  • the power of enthusiasm!
It's not all work! Exercises will take the form of play and it is through games, rituals and brainstorming through which Henry will encourage you to explore, to be experimental and combine ideas to form concepts that are unique and personal to you.

Be prepared for a workshop like no other!  Join Henry on a journey of discovery and inject the SUPER! into your writing.
