Job description

Attention novelists, poets, essayists, graphic novelists, and screenwriters: Do you love kids? Are you excited by the idea of teaching children how to write stories with beginnings, middles, and (drum roll) endings? Writopia Lab, an award-winning 501(c)3 non-profit that runs the country's best creative writing workshops for kids ages 6-18, is looking for instructors to teach at our Los Angeles site in Santa Monica.

During the school-year trimester, workshops meet once a week for 10 weeks, Monday through Friday for one and a half hours in the morning or afternoon and during the day on weekends. Instructors work part-time and can expect to work most but not every week (depending on availability and flexibility).

During the summer, workshops meet for week-long intensives, 3 hours a day Monday through Friday.

Our instructors are role models. A Writopia Lab instructor is half camp counselor (fun and funny, warm and engaging) and half savvy editor/teacher (astute, insightful, serious, open, sensitive). We train instructors extensively in our method and are looking for published writers and instructors who've worked with children. A master's degree is not required but preferred. We are seeking instructors with availability in Santa Monica. To find out more information regarding who we are and what we do here at Writopia, please visit our website at www.writopialab.org.

How to Apply:
If you are excited by the idea of joining a community of writers and helping children and teens learn to write, please fill out this short form. (Don't forget to attach your resumé, cover letter, and publication history!)

No phone calls or drop ins, please. Email elsa@writopialab.org with questions. Emailed applications will be promptly disregarded.
