Girl Writing in a classroomIf you love creative writing – poetry, short fiction, writing novels, screenplays and more – then Centauri is the place for you. For 27 years, we’ve brought together young writers, and talented creative writing teachers to inspire them… and we continue to do so with creative writing classes AND creative writing summer camps, all starting in the next few weeks.

Creative Writing Classes this Spring (starting April 2022).

Julie Hartley is our instructor for the next Saturday creative writing class, which begins in our Bloor West studio on Saturday 23rd April. If you live in Bloor West Village, Swansea or anywhere else in Etobicoke and Mississauga, join us for a creative writing class that focusses on fantasy and science fiction.

VIRTUAL Creative Writing Classes and VIRTUAL Creative Writing Camps

If you live too far from Bloor West Village and Swansea to join our studio creative writing classes, then consider a virtual creative writing class! Our next virtual classes start at the end of April – and we also offer virtual creative writing camps in the summer.

Our 2022 Creative Writing Camps – Now Open for Registration!

Whether you love writing poetry, exploring plot, character and setting, or just hanging out with other young writers, join us for creative writing classes and Toronto-based creative writing retreats this summer! Choose from creative writing camps in July and August, as well as a VIRTUAL creative writing camp.

Our Creative Writing Classes: Instructors, New and Returning

Our spring Creative Writing classes are taught by returning writing teachers, Julie Hartley and Helen Tran. Our two week-long creative writing summer camps will be taught by our newest instructor, the inspirational and talented Vikki VanSickle! Vikki has written multiple award-winning novels, so I can’t think of a better person for young writers to learn from. Vikki says, “For me, teaching writing is all about injecting a little enchantment in the world.” Check out her bio on our website – you’ll be impressed.

Helen Tran is also offering a 2-day weekend creative writing retreat in the summer, and the ever-popular Maria Rothenberg will be running our virtual creative writing summer camp. We hope you can join us!
