The Quill Kids concept and success comes from director Iretta Bell, elementary school literacy teacher and Fellow of the National Writing Project.
“After years of observing young students languishing in the field of writing, I discovered that when creative writing becomes exciting, the attitude carries over to academic writing. Increased creativity and having fun organizing thoughts helps students with the entire school curriculum, besides opening up the possibility of a lifelong personal hobby.” In three-hour workshops, after school enrichment programs and Quill Kids Club, participants learn to organize ideas, write short stories, poetry and non-fiction, using fun and creative drills. Time is then given to write their ideas in a Quill Kid journal or hand-crafted Mini book. Share-time culminates each get together. Arrangements can be made to attend single or multiple sessions. 
Quill Kids is a recreational program based in Denver, Colorado, that guides budding authors ages 6 to 13, through a challenging yet rewarding experience of creative and non-fiction writing. Our goal is to introduce excitement and understanding to the writing process, in an informal group setting, using innovative techniques that make putting words on paper naturally easy and fun.
