Storytelling Through Graphic Novels: Teens Creative Writing Workshop

Saturday 19 September 2026 at 12:00PM
Colchester Library

Event Description

From webcomics to Japanese manga, graphic novels – which tell stories with both art and text – are having a moment right now. In this 90-minute workshop for writers aged 12 to 17, we’ll explore this unique medium, learning how to combine panels, dialogue, and visual storytelling, and creating your own short graphic novel sequence.  

This workshop is part of Colchester Library’s autumn creative writing programme for young writers. This series of workshops for writers aged 7 to 11 and 12 to 17 takes a fun, hands-on approach, led by creative writing tutor Daisy Jones.  

Each session stands alone, so you can come to just one, or as many as you like. All materials are provided and no previous writing experience is required – just bring your imagination! All workshops are free, but places are limited and booking is essential.
