News and Opportunities for Writers and Writing

NEW WRITING GROUP OFFERS

Three new regular creative writing groupsbegin at MAST Mayflower Studios.

Mayflower Junior Writers (7-11 year olds) and Crow's Nest Creative Writers (15-18 year olds) invite young people to explore creative writing through workshops on topics like characterisation, dialogue, setting and plot, as well as through practical exercises.

MAST Collective is an offer aimed at 19-25 year olds to share the writer's journey with like-minded people, working across genres and aiming towards publishing in print, online and through performance.

All groups are free and will take place on a weekly basis, during term times at MAST Mayflower Studios.

RETURNING GROUPS

September sees the return of our regular writing group offers.

In-person, we look forward to welcoming back our weekly young writer groups at both Lighthouse Poole (Lighthouse Young Writers) & MAST Mayflower Studios (Mayflower Young Writers).

Online, a new term also starts for SO:Write Women led by Natalie Young, Writing for Wellbeing Advanced led by Joanna Barnard, Junior Writers' Club led by Susmita Bhattachayra, and the ArtfulScribe Afterschool Club led by Tabby Hayward. Click here for further information.
