HistoryWhile the DC branch of Writopia began in Spring of 2009, Writopia Lab started in the New York City living room of our director, Rebecca Wallace-Segall, with a small group of writers who came together to share their passion for writing. Since then, Writopia Lab has become a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, a national community of young writers, and has grown beyond that living room and NYC. We now serve all demographics in the following regions: New York Metro North, New Jersey, DC, LA, Chicago, and the San Francisco Bay Area. In each of the past seven years, more kids from Writopia Lab have been recognized on both the regional and national levels by the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards than from any other school in the nation.SpecialtiesIntimate Workshops. Published instructors. Age-based groups. Rolling enrollment. Writopia Lab is a non-profit organization that serves students age 8-18 from all backgrounds. Workshops are divided into small, age-based groups, enrolling a maximum of six students per group. All of our teachers are local, published writers with extensive experience teaching creative writing. We celebrate all genres of creative writing including fiction, memoir, essays, plays, poetry, graphic novel, and musical theater. Workshops are small, student-centered, and author-led. We also offer private sessions (in person and online) where students work one-on-one with published authors, poets, or produced playwrights. We work with many different levels of writers. We meet students where they are at and challenge them individually based on their specific needs. Reluctant writers come to Writopia and leave feeling empowered and more confident in their writing, while prolific writers leave with an enhancement in their current skills.
