Welcome to INKwell 4 Kids
Children's Writing Courses
Write How? Write Now!
| It’s never too early to start writing – and if you speak to
any author they will say they loved writing as a child. INKwell are keen to foster new talent and
from Summer 2010 are planning children's writing courses: our Write How? Write Now! Summer Camps
for kids aged 7-9 and 9-12 and a series of specialised Write How? Write Now! one day
workshops. |

 |
Bringing in top level published authors who have had
extensive experience working with young writers we aim to ignite their creativity and show them the
essential basics of good fiction writing. Using fun, creative exercises facilitators of these
children's writing courses will show how to develop character, how to plot and plan and how to
write effective dialogue. At every camp participants will receive a made to measure handout pack of
writers tips and a copy of Young Writer Magazine. |
