Creative Writing Workshop for Ages 7-11 (Thursday 3rd July 4pm-5pm)

[dulwichbooks]

Are you between 7 and 11 years of age and want to be an author? Dulwich Books invites you to a taster session for one hour with well-known author and creative writing teacher, Sam Hepburn.

During the workshop we will be looking at the structure, content and vocabulary for writing a short story about a character who wakes up one morning to find themselves turning into a magical beast. Children will leave with a story plan which they can work on over the school holidays and submit for a competition which will be judged by Sam. Entries will also be showcased on the www.shoutaboutmagazine.com website.

Sam Hepburn read Modern Languages at Cambridge University before joining the BBC, where she was producer of factual programmes for over 25 years and was the Commissioner for the launch of BBC 4. Her latest novel is Chasing the Dark.

This event will take place on Thursday 3rd July, starting at 4pm it will run for an hour and will include hands-on exercises designed to encourage creative writing for children aged 7-11 years old.
