Hello Denver Writers!


While our summer plans did not end up as we originally planned, we are very excited to announce our three online camps! Thank you for your patience as we rearranged schedules and availability with our three amazing instructors. Our three camps are lead by long time Denver Writes volunteers, Jordan, Debbie, and Erin, and all three have amazing ideas and lessons planned. We tried to keep the costs as reasonable as possible, and plan to offer scholarships and partial scholarships. Camp Details will follow!

We typically take the summer off from regular workshops, but this year we've decided to keep offering regular online workshops, we have plans on June 13th and June 27th.

Additionally we will continue our now thrice weekly Creative Writing Club all summer long. We've talked about possibly adding a couple of in person (from social distance) meet ups on BookBar's patio as things move along. Send an email to be added to the list! 

Check out our Summer Camp and Workshop schedule below!

Online Summer Camps 2020

Noveling 101

Every Tuesday, June 2nd – Aug 18th, 4:30 – 6:00 PM, ages 10 – 14

Are you the next Rick Riordan, J.K. Rowling, Suzanne Collins, or Roald Dahl?

Before you say yes or no, how would you know without finishing a novel?

Noveling 101 is going to help you do just that. From learning the basics of novel planning from The Better Novel project to workshops on dialog, description, and literary voice, Noveling 101 exists to give you the tools to craft your perfect novel. Noveling 101 also provides the opportunity to connect with a dedicated group of fellow novelers, all as committed to their craft as you are.

In this weeklong Zoom summer camp, we’ll break the laws of physics and turn everyday reality on its head. Think flying girls and time-traveling boys. Think talking animals and transformation. Each one-hour Zoom session will include writing prompts and time to share our works-in-progress with our friends, and I’ll provide a few additional writing prompts each day so you can keep writing on your own!

Sci-Fi and Steampunk!

July 13th – 17th, 1 pm – 2 pm, ages 12 – 18

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a stranger in a strange land? Do you yearn to go boldly where no others have gone before? In this week-long Zoom camp we will explore the genres of sci-go and steampunk as we look backward to look forward and envisions worlds beyond our wildest dreams. Every session we will flex our creative muscles and share our creations with one another, and further enrichment will be provided between sessions as well!
