Building on our successful camps this summer,  the Hellertown Area Library has graciously agreed to host a second round of fiction writing workshops.  On Wednesday, November 15, I’ll be teaching an after-school workshop from 3:45 to 4:45 for students in Grades 4-8., and on Monday, November 13, I’ll be leading an evening workshop from 6:00-8:00  for teens and adults.  Both new students and repeats are welcome!  Please email me at joe@joeharvey.net for more information, or contact the Hellertown Library to reserve your spot!  Email:  eclavier@hellertownlibrary.org or Phone:  610-838-8381.

I want to thank Erin Clavier and the Hellertown Library for hosting two writing workshops this summer—both of them were a tremendous success!   The workshops focused on the elements of fiction and the craft of storytelling.  High School students gathered for two hours on a warm summer night to explore the elements of plot and character, while upper elementary and middle school students met over the course of three days to learn how to use all the elements of fiction to craft page-turning stories! There will be more workshops to come in the fall.  Watch this space for more information!  If you’d like to receive email updates about upcoming events and workshops—or you’d like to plan one for your organization, please contact me at joe@joeharvey.net!    

Hey, parents!  Does your son or daughter like to write stories?  I will be running two summer programs for upper elementary, middle school, and high school-aged kids on the art of storytelling.  During these programs, kids will learn how to use the elements of fiction to create compelling stories from beginning to end.  The programs will take place at the Hellertown Library!
