Lottie's Story
Hi, I'm Lottie! And I'm a kid just like you.
I came up with Creative Righters when I was Editor of my school's newspaper. Back then, I asked all my classmates to write articles for the paper.
Who wouldn't want to have their stories published, right?... RIGHT?
Uh, wrong.
"No way." "Writing's lame." "My writing SUCKS." "Why would I do that when AI can do it for me, loser."
Well, that's what the kids told me.
I didn't give up though.
I kept asking. I bribed kids with candy. Eventually, two kids agreed to write in exchange for some gummy bears. Then, a few more. Slowly, the students began giving me their writing.
When the kids saw their stories in the paper they'd smile with so much pride. I love telling my own stories, but nothing felt better than seeing these shy kids cheesing when they saw their words hung all over the school walls.
Secret - kids actually do like writing - if you give them confidence, some yummy candy, and a safe place to publish their work.
After I left elementary school, I wanted to keep helping kids tell stories, but I wanted to work with kids everywhere, not just at my school.
And that's how Creative Righters was born!
Creative writing uses words to tell stories in a pretty way. Creative Righting is a lil different. We use more than just words. We use comics and art too! We want to shine a light on those kids who are normally quiet, give them a safe place to be heard, and share stories many never get to read.
