Youth Creative Writing Programme

Chelmsford Library

Event Description

Our Youth Creative Writing Programme is for young people aged 12 to 18 who are interested in creating, improving or just sharing their work.

This could be anything, from short stories to poetry. With a relaxed approach we aim to give ideas, share each other's work if they want to, and be a supportive place for those who want to create. Come along, have fun and let's get writing!

This programme is part of the Essex Young Writers initiative.
