DESCRIPTION: 

Your writing career starts now. Like, seriously.

You don’t need a published book to start laying the foundation for a successful writing career. In this energizing workshop for homeschool high schoolers, we’ll explore ten practical, confidence-building steps you can take right now to build your skills, your platform, and your momentum as a young writer.

You’ll leave this session with real-world, age-appropriate ways to:

  • Grow your writing craft
  • Start building an author platform
  • Network like a pro (and understand what that even means)
  • Think long-term about the business side of being an author

Plus, we’ll also talk about how to avoid making the one mistake that could literally cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

If you dream of writing professionally, this workshop will help you take your first steps with clarity, strategy, and joy—before you even graduate.

GRADES: 8-12

PRICE: $5/Homeschool New York family, $10/nonmember family
