“All children are storytellers and natural improvisors. Their stories may seem fragmented, or clichéd; but they’re almost always compelling because they’re told with spontaneity and freedom.”
Frank & Wall’s Finding Your Writer’s Voice.
Sunset’s Factory is a creative writing workshop on line for EFL/ESL students at all levels of writing ability. At the end of the course you will be able to write your own fairy tale or children’s story based on the classics, or you may give it a go at a modern version that illustrates today’s kids and their world. We will work under the assumption that writing is a process more than an instantaneous product. This means that we will follow a step-by-step program where reflection on the why and the how of your writing talent will be constantly encouraged. Writers in this course will work collaboratively in the crafting of plot, characters, and story line. Upon graduation, course participants will be invited to take part in a vote to choose the most promising story writers.
