SDWEG's mission statement is "The Guild shall promote, support, and encourage the writing arts for adults and youth at every level of experience." Since we haven't been able to provide programs directly to address young writers, we provide information about all San Diego organizations that do. And San Diego Writers, Ink, comes through again and again.

Does your child love writing? Creating stories? Have a vivid imagination? In this Fiction Writing for Preteens workshop, award-winning author Puja Shah will teach about the key elements to writing the perfect short story with guided prompts and fun exercises that will allow each child to go home with their own mental toolbox of creative writing tips.

Puja is a mother of two kids and has years of experience teaching children yoga and meditation where she understands each child’s unique creativity. All they need to bring is a notebook and their imagination! Class size is limited, so register today. All writing levels are welcome!

Recommended for ages 10-13. The one-day workshop will be held on Saturday, 10/7 from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. at Kids by the Sea Olivenhain in Encinitas. Cost is $30 for all. For more information and a link to register your preteens up,  click HERE!
