Course description
Starting in October, our new four-week Young Writers Club* is aimed at helping and encouraging kids to learn key writing techniques, explore the art of storytelling, and discover their very own writer’s voice, all through fun and engaging activities and exciting, inspiring readings from children’s fiction. They’ll share their writing in a friendly group, and be given encouraging, supportive feedback from their fellow young writers and the club tutor. Whether they’re already passionate about writing or just beginning their writing journey, our Young Writers Club is sure to help your child grow in both creativity and confidence. To welcome young writers to the club, we’re offering a special taster session on 20th September, aimed at children aged 9-14 - please join us then!
* available to book soon!
