Creative writing is a fun way to express your thoughts and emotions.

One form of creative writing is a short story. “A story is like a playground for your imagination,” Lee Overtree, co-founder and creative director of The Story Pirates, told The Week Junior. “It’s a great place to experiment and try new ideas,” Overtree said.

Then go to storypirates.com/theweekjunior to submit your story and have a chance to be featured on an upcoming podcast episode!
