*SOLD OUT!* The Teen Writers Club is a place for high school aged writers to make new connections, be inspired, and develop their writing. We provide a safe, fun and engaging program for passionate young writers of all interests, ages and abilities.

**Term 2 is at capacity** Please email [email protected] if you missed out on securing a place.

The Club meets on Saturdays during school term, and is guided by a guest teacher. The program is shaped by the interests of the group, and they’re supported to set and achieve their own writing goals. We provide creative content, information on the industry and careers, mentoring, and the opportunity for support for school-based writing projects. Term 2 in 2023 will be facilitated by Adam Cece.

 

Participants will:

  • Meet and connect with like-minded writerly peers
  • Develop and practise creative writing skills
  • Build a deeper understanding of the writing industry and pathways for the future.

 

Term 2, 2023 dates: 10:30am to midday - May 6, 13, 20 & 27, June 3, 10, 17 & 24
