What the Woafies Say

  • “I really enjoy the creative writing workshops. I wish they lasted forever. It’s like I’m in a different world at Creative Write-it, and I hope I can keep writing with you all the time!”

    Emily, 9yo Woaflet

  • “Just wanted to you let you know that both girls really enjoyed their afternoon workshop about different genres yesterday. It’s funny because with these writing classes they never complain about logging in like they do with other online programs!”

    Phuong, Parent of two Woaflets

  • “Caitlin loves her online classes 👏👏”

    Amanda, Parent of a Teen Woaf

  • “I loved getting to think about things that I would not normally think about. Thank you so much for teaching me how to become a better creative writer.”

    Kasvi, 10yo Woaflet

  • “Thank you to all the crew for your support and inspiration. These sessions are always a highlight of the week. Keep up the great work 👏🏻”

    Richard, Parent of an 11yo Woaflet

  • "Oliver had two mentorship sessions and he had so much fun during the sessions. He has already asked me to sign him up for more lessons in the future. Thank you for keeping him motivated in writing and also improving his writing skill!"

    Felicity, Parent of a 7yo Woaflet

  • "Grace has loved the program and her enthusiasm for books, which was already pretty strong, has sky-rocketed even more over the past five weeks. Thank you for creating such a great opportunity!"

    Louise, Parent of a Teen Woaf

  • "Thank you so much for being so helpful, supportive, creative, educational, and just really great throughout all of the workshops this term, I have really enjoyed them! I have also been super surprised at the story I have written! This is because I have never written anything like this, or created a character like this one before. I have also been amazed by the transformation of my story, and need to thank you so much for that!"

    Alina, Teen Woaf

  • "Both boys really liked the session and each read their stories out to us over dinner tonight!"

    Deborah, Parent of two Woaflets

  • "I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the Creative Writing Holiday Program that my daughter, Delnaz Aminian, participated in with you. She thoroughly enjoyed the two sessions she attended and couldn't stop talking about the fun activities and stories she worked on during the program. My daughter had such a positive experience in your program and would be thrilled to continue her participation in future sessions."

    Fatemeh, Parent of a Woaflet

  • "Little Amy is truly fortunate to have one-on-one time with you to fully enjoy the pleasure of writing. Both her dad and I were amazed by the quality and creativity of the first chapter. We genuinely feel happy that she has met you, as you have opened the door to writing for her and allowed her to experience the beauty of writing. You are her favourite teacher in the extra-curricular classes."

    Wendy, Parent of a Woaflet

“The muscles of writing are not so visible, but they are just as powerful: determination, attention, curiosity, a passionate heart.”
