Screenwriting Classes, Short Fiction, Poetry, Science Fiction, Fantasy… we have it all at the Centauri Arts Academy, starting January 2022!
We are thrilled to announce that our popular Screenwriting program is back for Semester 2! This virtual program is taught by the talented Abby Buchmeyer, who is an award-winning screenwriter working in Writers’ Rooms in New York. Abby has been involved with Centauri Arts for more than a decade and currently teaches our Screenwriting Masterclasses in high schools, too. Our Screenwriting Workshop is ideal for anyone 12+ who loves writing and is interested in how to write for TV and Film! You’ll explore the work of successful screenwriters, dissect your favourite shows and learn to produce stories and scenes packed with intriguing characters and conflict.
For writers interested in creating short fiction, we have a special, product-oriented class on Wednesdays. You’ll discover the ingredients that make a short story great, and work on your own shorts stories to submit to competitions and magazines at the end of our program. With a ton of writing time, plenty of creative prompts and a deep dive into writing technique, this program is perfect for writers looking for a challenge.

For creative writers with wide interests – beginner and experienced – we have TWO “Writing Salons” starting in January, too: a virtual evening class and a Saturday class in-person at the academy. Explore poetry, science fiction, fantasy, playwriting, graphic novels and more. Learn to sculpt amazing plots, intriguing characters and fascinating worlds. Write, read your work and explore creative ideas with a community of young writers just like you.
