Idea Storm
Check out our free beloved game-packed workshop, designed to help writers collect a storm of ideas to take back to their writers' notebooks. From game to capturing their ideas and back to the next game, the hour-long workshop flies by. Don't miss the Idea Lab video at the end, which helps writers choose a few idea snippets to transform into a concept for their next writing piece—be it a story, a poem, a memoir, or the project of your choosing!

As an educator member, you can submit a class set of writing for our annual contest. The contest is open every year between January 15 and March 15. All applicants receive personalized, encouraging feedback. Winners mentor with an author to revise their stories or poems before publication.
