ON TRACK TO AP & HONORS COURSES (VIA THE IMAGINATION) !!

Dear Parents!


Thank you to the many parents who've written inquiring about the Writers Studio workshops. While I wasn't planning to teach this summer, your enthusiasm has been the impetus to put some workshops together! I am truly touched.



COURSES



The most popular workshops are Aspiring Authors, Aspiring Tweens and Little Shakespeare. The course I teach in each time slot will be determined by the majority number of requests for it, by specific age groups. So if I get the most requests from parents of 7 year olds for Session A, it will become a Little Shakespeare class. Unless parents have a group in Lisle, the workshops will be in the Glen Ellyn North/ Glendale Heights area or at Wheaton Library.



Besides working with older students on college essays, I am also working online with Middle School, High School and Adult writers who have a novel in the making.



STRUCTURE



There will only be 3 workshops this summer. I've expanded them to 1.5 hours per day within a M-Th. framework, for a total of 6 hours. Students will write as much as possible during our session, rather than at home. As always, qualifying stories that have been completed, proofread and typed up, will be submitted for possible publication.



GREAT NEWS!



Aliya Husain, a writer I've worked with, is now an author on Amazon. She has sold almost 100 copies in pre-orders and since its release on Amazon, last week. I encourage you to check out Neither This Nor That by Aliya Husain. My daughter, Taskeen, too won 1st place in a National Writing Competition this year and can be read at Writers Studio and at Writers Slate, page 28. All WS students whose work qualified, can be read at here.

Feel free to write me with any questions. Since there are only limited sessions, Sign up Today!



Warmly,



Naazish
