Young Writers

Do you like creative writing?
Are you aged between 11-14 or 15-18?

Autumn 2025
13 Sept - 6 Dec

Lighthouse Academy have teamed up with ArtfulScribe to bring Young Writers to Lighthouse. As a Young Writer, you will get the chance to attend workshops led by professional writers, attend Lighthouse performances, see your work published online, in print, and performed on a stage before a live audience.

Workshops run on Saturday mornings on a weekly basis during term times and offer a safe, supportive environment, encouraging young writers to share work and to give and receive feedback in a respectful way that empowers voices in the workshop community.

There are two workshops:

  • 11-14-year-olds
  • 15-18-year-olds.

These sessions are free but Lighthouse looks for a commitment on attendance. All workshops are suitable for beginners and advanced writers.

To find out a little more about the content of the sessions, check out our Young Writers blog.
