Monthly creative writing workshops, masterclasses and mentorship for 11-16s exploring different genres, styles and careers.

Workshops

Book onto a workshop

Monthly creative writing classes for 11-16 year olds brimming with ideas and stories. Each session will have a different theme and be led by Cornish writers Olivia Lowry and Casey Bottono, or a guest published writer. Workshops run in term time only.

Mentorship

Annual Mentorship

Mentoring sessions will offer a chance to share work and receive feedback, ask questions about areas of writing you are struggling with, discuss your ambitions for your future as a writer and how to work toward this, and receive support in producing a piece of work to share at the end of the project. Applications open in Summer 2025.
