Creative writing isn’t just a fun way to pass the time—it’s an amazing tool for learning, self-expression, and developing skills across different subjects. My 14-week creative writing course is designed for young writers (ages 8-18) to explore their creativity in a friendly and supportive space, helping them find their voice while improving key academic skills.

Why Creative Writing is So Valuable

Writing stories does way more than just fill up a notebook. It gives young people the chance to express their thoughts, explore new ideas, and build confidence. Plus, it helps in lots of other areas too:

• English & Literacy – The more you write, the better you get at spelling, grammar, and expressing yourself.

• Critical Thinking – Coming up with characters and plots is great for problem-solving and thinking outside the box.

• History & Social Studies – Writing about different time periods sparks curiosity and research skills.

• Science & Maths – Believe it or not, writing mysteries or sci-fi helps with logical thinking and attention to detail.

• Public Speaking & Communication – Sharing stories with others boosts confidence and helps kids express ideas clearly.

What’s Special About This Course?

Over 14 weeks, I’ll guide young writers through everything from creating characters to building exciting worlds and crafting engaging plots. Each session is fun and interactive, with plenty of chances to chat, get feedback, and try out different writing exercises. No matter their experience level, every student will feel supported and encouraged.

Why Join?

• A relaxed and welcoming space where creativity can flourish.

• Friendly guidance to help develop writing skills in a stress-free way.
