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


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
