"My daughter currently attends Solihull Young Writers on Wednesdays with Wersha. During her sessions she has been able to complete her own short story which she has just entered in the BBC 500 word competition. The course has been fantastic and really helped grow her love of writing, and she loves going every week!" - Parent of current Solihull Young Writer
