Creative Writing Classes for Kids & Teens, Taught by Real Authors
WordPlay Writing Co. specializes in creative writing experiences designed just for kids and teens, connecting young minds with real, published authors as teachers. Their programs welcome every level—from writers bursting with ideas to those who hesitate to put words on the page—and they make writing fun, meaningful, and full of possibility.
The offerings include both live, interactive classes and self-paced online modules, giving families the flexibility to fit writing into their schedules—whether through scheduled sessions or anytime lessons that match a busy lifestyle.
Their curriculum spans a variety of creative genres: everything from poetry and fanfiction to novel writing and novel studies, encouraging students to follow what excites them most.
Behind it all is a team of award-winning, published authors—like founder Jackson Pearce (author of the Pip Bartlett and Ellie, Engineer series)—who bring both craft and encouragement into each lesson. Teachers like Tiffany Schmidt, Tracy Banghart, Saundra Mitchell, Emma Ohland, Jax McQueen, and Meeg Pincus bring diverse backgrounds, passion, and professional insight to nurture young writers’ voices exactly where they are.
WordPlay’s approach unfolds in simple, effective steps: pick the class that fits your child’s interests (“poetry? Fanfiction? novel-writing?”), enroll in the format that fits your needs, and then watch their creativity ignite—as confidence grows, love of writing blossoms, and storytelling becomes a joyful adventure.
