Young Adult Summer Story Symposium (YASSS!)

Start Date: 06/08/2026 | End Date: 08/15/2026

New for Summer!

Mostly, we just write together, with a prompt. But we also hit contests and conventions–and we win. Loosely, here’s the plan for what we’re going to concentrate on:

June: Book structure and design, formatting, covers, publishing

July/August: Novels, how to write them, how not to write them, what makes a quality novel and why you can write one if you really want to.

MrC (plus several others) is your host for the workshops. He’s written over 20 novels, a half-dozen nonfiction books, and hundreds of short stories (and even some poetry). He gets paid to write and he can show you how to do it, too. Cost of the class–for the whole summer!–is $20. That’s around $1 an hour. It’s a couple of happy meals. Writing nirvana has never been cheaper.

All classes are held over Zoom, so you can take them from wherever you are.
