Young Writers Group

“It’s the highlight of my month” G, Young Writers Group member

What is it?

A monthly session for young people who are brimming with ideas and stories and want to share them with like-minded, friendly, young writers and readers.

Where is it?

In an artist-created space which is dedicated to firing the imagination and encouraging creative writing, that is The Writers’ Block, situated in Cornwall College in Pool.

What happens?

Each session is full of discussion, short and fun exercises to get the creativity flowing and longer periods to really get into your story. Each term we plan to have a guest writer, for example a songwriter or playwright. We also visit The Minack Theatre at least once a year for inspiration. There’s always lots of juice and biscuits to feed the mind!

Who’s it for?

Any young writer aged between twelve and sixteen. All you need is curiosity, a willingness to have a go and a notebook and pen. Then who knows what we’ll produce…

When is it?

Saturdays, January 25th, February 22nd, March 21st from 10am -1pm

Cost: £5 per session

Come along by yourself or with friends and meet new young writers. Get your visions into words and hook into Cornwall’s rich, cultural life. You are the next generation of creative writers – take your first step with us. Each session will be led by writers and performers Casey Bee and Olivia Lowry.
