Help them unlock their awesome imaginations with our inclusive, relaxed and welcoming Young Solihull Writers creative writing course - an exciting and vibrant term time, rolling, 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. 

 

HOW TO SECURE YOUR PLACE 

We cannot secure your place on the course until both of these steps have been completed.

Please book your place on the course before completing the pre-course registration form. A separate form should be completed for each participant.

 

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 10 week course aims to build confidence in writing for enjoyment, wellbeing and resilience, and promotes literacy and invaluable writing skills to suit beginners or those who are already passionate young writers. 

WHEN: Wednesdays during term time from 4.30pm - 6pm. 

EXPERIENCE: No writing experience necessary.

Course requirements: 

  • Please bring a named A4 lined pad or book*, sharpened pencils, a sharpener, eraser, colouring pencils / felt tips. Fun stickers and decorative materials optional! 
  • We recommend an A4 lined exercise book with margins so pages don’t come apart easily and so that children can keep their stories and writing organised. 
  • A water bottle to keep hydrated! 

*Silvine 80 page lined books with margins can be purchased directly on the course on the first session for only £3 each (cash only). 

We look forward to welcoming you to Solihull Young Writers in April 2025!

Please note: With smaller group sizes, places are limited to 15 to ensure the best experience and early booking is advised.
