ABOUT OUR KIDS WRITE! PROGRAM
So many successful writers talk about how they’ve been writers since they were children. The writing talent can emerge early. Our program help kids develop concrete skills, encouraging them to become better writers and feel good about what they are accomplishing. Our new classes combine instruction about craft and writing exercises, all at an age appropriate level. Classes are led by Lynn Rosen, co-owner of Open Book Bookstore and English, writing, and publishing instructor. (For more about Lynn see HERE.)
