The Young Writer’s Workshop consists of six sessions.

About Jason Carter Eaton:

Jason also wrote the story for Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, though that was entirely by accident.

Please note: if your child attended the sessions last year, please email us to be placed on a waitlist so that a new group of students have a chance to participate
