What parents/caregivers are saying about WordPlay classes:
“This class is full of information which is presented in a fun and interesting manner. In the first class my daughter learned about acrostic poems, who knew there were so many different ways to write them! This started out as an "Okay, I will try it" to "I can't wait until next week". Tiffany does a great job presenting the information and engaging the students.”

”My daughter LOVES this class and the amazing teacher! She looks forward to it each week. Extremely engaging, creative and interesting classes! Highly recommend!”

3x Weekly Creative Writing Pod
$70 per week
Join WordPlay’s team of published authors for a fast-paced, wildly creative writing adventure! In this class, students write a brand-new short story or scene every single meeting, three times per week—no repeats, no overthinking, just pure imagination in motion. Each week brings a new theme (think: gothic chills, fairytale flips, sci-fi sparks) and every class mixes a mini-lesson, a writing sprint, and optional share time.
It’s the perfect space for writers who love trying new ideas, experimenting with genres, and discovering just how many stories they can tell when they write fearlessly.
At WordPlay, we believe the best writing happens when creativity and community meet. Every session is upbeat, inclusive, and guided by published authors who know what it’s like to face the blank page—and how to conquer it with style.
