Join our free Creative Storytelling Bootcamp to write your very own storybook inspired by Herve Tullet art, design characters, learn about conflict and resolution, incorporate literary techniques into your writing, and become a published author!
DESCRIPTION: For kids who dare to share their stories with the world and publish them in a personalized, one-of-a-kind storybook!
Over the span of one week, we’ll send you one free creative challenge a day to help you learn character design, how to write engaging story arcs, how to add a conflict and a resolution to your story, and ways to jazz up your writing style using literary techniques. You’ll write your own story inspired by artwork created by world-famous artist Herve Tullet and GIANT kids. What story do these colorful paintings make you think of? YOU get to decide in this GIANT Creative Storytelling Bootcamp.
We’ll then remix your ideas, stories, and submissions into a personalized, published storybook to share with the world!
