Are you aged 7-10, or 11-14? Would you like to learn more, meet new friends, and develop your creative writing practice? Our blog is a great place to see what Young Writers get up to, and if you can't make the sessions at MAST, you can have a go at some of the exercises and challenges we wherever you happen to be at the time.
These groups are free to attend thanks to generous support from Mayflower Theatre, Arts Council England, and Amazon Literary Partnership.
