Help them unlock their awesome imaginations with our inclusive, relaxed and welcoming  Young Solihull Writers Creative Writing Course - an exciting and vibrant writing group for children aged 7 -11 (years 3 to 6 primary school only) where children can dive into a world of fun, interactive and rounded storytelling with inspiring enrichment classes exploring different styles of writing and colourful techniques.  

The weekly classes offer a fantastic opportunity for children to explore, experiment and flourish in everything from adventure fiction, poetry, folklore and myths to song writing, letters,  diaries, podcast dramas and plays via interactive games and exercises designed to boost confidence, teamwork and a love of writing -  all while making new friends in a supportive and engaging environment. 

Led by experienced professional writer, journalist and educator Wersha Bharadwa, the 12 week course aims to build confidence in writing for enjoyment,  wellbeing and resilience and promotes literacy and invaluable writing and English skills to suit beginners or those who are already passionate young writers.
