We missed you all!
We are back in Term 2, 2022 with our popular master class series. Last year.... yep we know you know... it felt like we spent more time rescheduling and cancelling classes than doing what we love and working with young writers! So we are taking small steps with four fabulous classes on offer in Ōtautahi-Christchurch for this coming term. We are thrilled to once again partner with the teams from Speaking 4 The Planet and Scorpio Books.
All of the details and the booking form can be found here: https://www.schoolforyoungwriters.org/masterclasses
