Stories connect us. Creativity changes us.
Welcome to ANI
Summer camps, story retreats, writing workshops, and the Tiny Stories™ method:
A Novel Idea is a creative universe for kids, teens, and grownups.
We believe everyone has a story to tell
— whether it’s a poem, a tiny spark,
or an epic family saga —
and that stories are the threads our world is woven from.

Stories connect us. Creativity changes us.
Writing opens doors to curiosity, courage, and community — whether you’re nine or ninety.

whether they’re writing a novel, a tiny story, a travel journal, or just beginning to explore their creativity.
Come find your people.
Come find your story.
