Word Play 2012: WordShops and Writer-in-Residence 

WordShops

Word Play 2012 incorporated WordShops, creative writing and illustrating workshops for particularly passionate students from grates 4-10 who wish to extend their skills and learn from the masters. These exclusive half-day WordShops provided focused opportunities for students to learn from local, national and international writers and illustrators at the Festival.


Writer-in-Residence

Students in grades 11 and 12 had the chance to participate in Word Play's Writer-in-Residence program. These full-day workshops provided an exciting opportunity for students passionate about creative writing to extend their skills by working with one of the high-calibre writers appearing at the Festival.

Stay tuned for information about the Word Play 2013 program to come next year.
