Young people aged 8 to 12 years of age are invited to join children's book author Emma Allen for a creative writing workshop these school holidays.

Emma will work with young writers to inspire them and share some useful tips to help writers anywhere to put their story ideas on paper while sharing insights into her own experiences and processes when creating stories.

This workshop is targeted at children aged 8 to 12 years of age, and bookings are essential.

While parents and guardians are welcome to stay and watch, each person who will be participating in this workshop will require a ticket.
