New Writing North Young Writers’ Summer School

Queen’s Hall Arts Centre, Hexham: Monday 22-Friday 26 August, 11am-3.30pm
Alington House, Durham: Monday 22-Friday 26 August, 11am-3.30pm
Time is running out to sign up for the New Writing North summer schools for young writers. The schools will give 12-18 year-olds the opportunity to have a go at a different type of writing every day, from poetry to creating an urban fantasy adventure, under the guidance of inspirational writers. This is a fun, informal week which is open to all young people from the serious budding novelist to the interested novice, and it’s absolutely free. To book or find out more, email laura@newwritingnorth.com. We’re already fully booked up in Newcastle but there are still a few places available in Hexham and Durham, so get in touch soon if you’d like to come along.
