A calm, small-group creative writing course designed to build confidence and storytelling skills step by step. Story Builders is a six-week creative writing course for young people aged 13–15, led by published author Tracy Todd. Designed as a gentle introduction to storytelling, the course explores how stories are built and how ideas can be developed with confidence.
Each session focuses on a different element of writing, including how to capture attention at the start of a story, writing realistic dialogue, creating believable characters, building conflict, exploring different genres, and understanding point of view. Sessions include a mix of short clips, reading examples, discussion, and guided writing activities to make each concept accessible and engaging.
This is a calm, small-group environment where participants are supported to engage at their own pace. There is no pressure to share work aloud, and individuals can observe before joining in if they prefer.
The course is suitable for a wide range of learners, including those who may find traditional classroom environments overwhelming or are currently exploring alternative approaches to learning. It offers a structured but flexible pathway to developing confidence, creativity, and communication skills.
