The Young Writer’s Workshop consists of six sessions. In each one, the young writers will be challenged to not only write, but to think, learning the principles of story-telling so that they can apply this knowledge across a variety of work, whether that’s writing a novel, a screen-play, or a video script.
Please note: if your child attended the sessions last year, please email us to be placed on a waitlist so that a new group of students have the chance to participate.
