Writing Made Simple Through Assemblies and Workshops
I would like to introduce The Fiction Factory Author Visits & Workshops, an interactive author visit experience designed specifically for middle school students.
During a half-day program, I lead a high-energy, school-wide assembly followed by small-group writing workshops (up to 10 students each). These sessions are hands-on, engaging, and designed to help students generate original ideas, take creative risks, and leave feeling proud of their work.
Students don’t just listen - they actively participate, write, and share. By the end of the visit, they walk away with a Young Author Certificate and, more importantly, a stronger belief that their ideas matter.
