Date: 6 - 8 June 2012 (10am - 5pm)
Enjoy writing but don’t think you’re good enough? Want to publish but can’t find the opportunity?
At the League, we recognise that talent needs nurturing and no one is an expert overnight. When you attend this camp, you will meet and exchange ideas with other young writers, and participate in a mass writing project where you’ll get a chance to have your work featured online or in print. Mentors and trainers will guide you and provide the motivation you need to bring your writing to the next level.
The Programme Team are still finalising the camp details but here are some of the camp highlights:
1. Writing 101
. Fundamentals of Writing. This will be essential for new writers and a useful refresher for the more experienced participants. Writing 101 also tells you what we are looking for in your writing (you’ll find out why later).
2. Writing Relay
. It’s like chain writing, but structured on a larger scale. Each writer or team of writers will be given key points that they must incorporate in their story. The submissions are then combined to form a larger story.
3. Read My Work! Please…?
. Learn what attracts readers and how you can build a fan base. Learn how to give and receive constructive feedback.
4. Ok, Now What Do I Do?
. We understand that the writing industry can be daunting for young writers to break into. Knowing how to write is only part of the journey.
Learn what lies beyond and how you can tackle the obstacles. (p.s. We hear that there might be motivational talks and goal setting too.)
