What people are saying about Writopia Labs

"My three kids, ages 8, 11, and 14, have taken part in this amazing program. They play fun writing games like "hot lap-top" and spend their time writing stories that they read and edit within their groups... This is the kind of place that your kids love and beg to go back to. My kids kept asking me to sign them up for another week."

"My daughter loved learning to write with Writopia teachers...They inspired her to write award-winning fiction. Long after working with them, my daughter continues to write with great enthusiasm."

-Ora Shtull
Mother of Scholastic Writing Competition 2006 National Gold Key winner

"I came to Writopia without ever having been in a writing class outside of my school. I was scared that I would not be as good as the other members, but as soon as I stepped in I felt right at home. For the first time I was excited and passionate about my writing. Every week I was eager to learn from my friends and writing instructor how to improve my work. In the end I felt that it all paid off. Writopia gave me a chance to think about hard and personal subjects in a different way, and also gave me the chance to express myself in a free manner."

-Gabe Fisher, 8th Grade
Scholastic Regional Gold Key Winner, Memoir, 2008
