RIDGEFIELD, CT — For a child who is into gaming, the digital world, and other online  activities, giving the gift of writing might not sound too appealing. However, when you present it  in such a way as Ridgefield Mompreneur Brittney Richardson does, kids will learn through fun  which makes it a win-win.  

Richardson, the founder of Muse Squad, is launching her youth writing program this January.  She designed the creative online course for aspiring young writers to hone their craft in a way  that is fun, engaging, and unique. By the end of completing the program, students will have the  start of a novel, a short story, or several standalone pieces to put in their writing portfolio.  

With Brittney Richardson’s Muse Squad, kids and teens can enjoy the benefits of writing while  working with like-minded individuals. Her writing-club based approach enables students to form  lasting relationships and help initiate ideas they might not have come up with had they been  working alone.  

According to kids writing advocate Andrea Bergstein “Statistics show that reading helps develop  your writing skills, but writing helps develop your cognitive growth, organizational abilities, and  the power to influence others through persuasion. In short, writing powers the brain.”  

She continues, “Studies show that children who practice creative writing more often are  generally better in other subjects too like math, science, and languages. Challenging themselves  to come up with creative thoughts and problem solve, builds the confidence and discipline  students need to succeed in all areas of life.”  

In the winter program Richardson said that she intends to “pass on the literary techniques and  wisdom of outstanding teachers while demonstrating several of my own unique strategies for  generating inspiration. I can say firsthand, that the people I met in workshops during grad school,  were some of the most gifted individuals I’ve ever come across, and I found mentors in my  instructors.”  

Miss Brittney’s interactive teaching method and imaginative writing prompts will foster  creativity and help tweens and teens find their literary voice. Each class has an original theme  and allows time for students to read their work aloud.
