Story Writing Groups
Young writers are matched to groups according to their age, interests and skill level and are mentored by a practising writer. In their weekly group, young writers journey into the craft of story; receiving written and verbal feedback on their work, bouncing around ideas, drawing on examples from literature and screen and putting the tools and techniques acquired through prompts and lessons into practice as they develop their own stories.
Sessions run after school and on Saturdays with the option of joining us during the day. Free trials welcome at any time where there are appropriate groups with availability.
