The Fairwood Writers are taking a new tack to help student writers in grades 3 through 12 prepare for MoPOP's upcoming Write Out Of This World science fiction and fantasy contest.
This year, we're offering young writers the chance to send us their stories, or a section of their work-in-progress, for feedback and coaching on how to improve their entries before they submit them to the contest. We'll also answer writing questions to help guide them through their writing process.
In previous years, we've led story generation workshops in the run-up to the WOOTW contest. Rather than that single on-site event, our new approach makes us available to student writers through nearly the entire contest period, until January 26, 2020.
You'll find more information about the contest here, and about our coaching and feedback--including an FAQ and some tips on how to use feedback--here. We're looking forward to hearing from all student writers and reading your work for the contest!
