The Barbados Young Authors Academy will equip children, aged 9 to 16, with the principles necessary to write a compelling short story or school composition. The workshops employ a unique teaching methodology, which deconstructs the writing of a story into its core elements.


The 101 Storytelling workshop is perfect for beginners. Whether the student has a natural instinct for writing or is a complete novice.


The 102 Advanced Storytelling Workshop is perfect for young authors who would like to advance their craft.



The 201 Artistic Storytelling Workshop is perfect for young authors who would like to make their writing more sophisticated.


The 301 World Building Workshop helps young authors turn their story into a series of stories featuring the same characters.
