Young Writers' Groups
New Writing North Young Writers is a vibrant programme of free creative writing groups for young people aged 11-19 living in the North East.
Do you enjoy being creative? Do you have a story to tell? Do you want to meet other young writers? Join one of our Young Writers’ Groups!
We run Young Writers’ Groups in libraries and community spaces across the North East, a Young Performers Group in the Outer West of Newcastle, and First Edition for 18-25yr olds.
We also run summer activities and other one-off projects, so you can get involved in our Young Writers programme the whole year round. All our groups are free to attend.
If you would like to join us, find your local group below and complete the sign-up form. Please note that some of our groups are full and you may need to join a waiting list.
