  Inkhead are a group of writers who have been running creative writing workshops for children between 8 and 16 for the last four years. The results speak for themselves. We have had three winners in a national writing competition and four runners up, other children have won school writing competitions and been singled out for the quality of their stories. Teachers have reported that children who have taken one of our courses have much more confidence when writing and stretch themselves to use more sophisticated language.

Parents are encouraged by the their children’s enthusiasm for Inkhead’s workshops but most importantly, every young person who has come to one of our classes has come away with a positive attitude to writing and their ability to express themselves through the written word.

Our aim is to encourage children to write the stories they want to write and to show them how to use description, dialogue, characterisation, suspense, showing not telling and other writing skills in their work. We want them to love writing as much as we do and to give them feedback and inspiration while they craft their stories.
