Welcome to Inkhead

Inkhead run creative writing workshops for children between 7 and 14 to inspire and encourage them to write fiction.

Easter Course at the Carnegie Library, Herne Hill, London

We work in schools and libraries in London, Surrey and Somerset during term time running after-school clubs where children are giving the space and opportunity to write their own stories. If you are interested in finding out more, please email inkheadcreativewriting@gmail.com or phone 01749 938137 and we will be happy to answer your questions.

The Sydenham High Junior After-School Club

We also offer a variety of holiday courses: Junior Inkheads (Age 7 to 9); Storytelling Course (Age 9 to 14); and Exam Busters Course (Age 9 to 14). For more information, venues and price please go to our courses page.

Inkhead are a group of writers who believe that you are never too young to start writing. We show children, through tried and tested writing exercises, how to

• Explore characters and their motivation
• Plot a story incorporating time shifts and conflict
• Describe scenes and people using all the senses, simile and metaphor
• Not be afraid of facing a blank page
• Find their own voices

We run writing competitions throughout the year, offering cash prizes and FREE places on one of our writing courses. Go to our competitions page for more details.

Children love coming to Inkhead because writing allows them to be who they want to be, go where they want to go and walk in someone else’s shoes. It helps with their literacy too!
