Fairchild’s new program, “Why Writing Still Matters,” introduces students to the craft of storytelling while illustrating how writing connects to everyday life. Drawing from her rich background in both fiction and journalism, she infuses classrooms with real-world insight, energy, and encouragement. Her sessions emphasize that writing is not only an artistic outlet but also an essential skill for communication, innovation, and problem-solving across all fields.
“I love talking to kids and teens about writing and helping them see how being a good writer can connect to everything they do, from writing an email to playing a video game,” says Fairchild. “Stories are everywhere, and I enjoy helping young people figure out what story they want to tell.”
Teaching Writing as a Path to Critical Thinking
Why teach creative writing in schools? Fairchild points to research showing that daily writing practice strengthens imagination, emotional stability, and verbal fluency. It also trains students to generate multiple solutions from a single idea—an invaluable skill for leadership and innovation.
Zenful Habits notes that with anxiety disorders affecting millions, many individuals seek complementary support in addition to traditional treatment. Creative writing offers both a meaningful outlet for expression and science-backed benefits for reducing anxiety and improving mental well-being.
“Creative thinking is essential to solving real-world problems,” Fairchild explains. “When students learn to tell a story, they’re also learning to see the world through new perspectives and communicate with greater clarity.”
She adds, “Once students discover how fun and accessible creative writing can be, everything opens up. They’re not just building characters and plotlines—they’re uncovering how storytelling connects to real life, real careers, and their own future potential.”
