Youth Writing Saturday
Queensland Writers Centre's monthly creative writing workshop for young people aged 10-16.
Youth Writing Saturday sessions take budding young writers on an adventure through their imagination, as they write and create their very own stories, worlds, characters and more. Let us inspire them to take their first steps as a creative storyteller and join a supportive community.
Whether you're a self-publishing savant or an eager bookworm, Youth Writing Saturday provides a space where you can find your tribe.
Queensland Writers Centre tutors facilitate the workshop and offer support by listening to ideas, reading work, and helping edit pieces for submission opportunities. We’re all about working towards goals, publishing opportunities, allowing for writing time and free discussion at every workshop.
