Spark Young Writers from Writing West Midlands

 Writing West Midlands have a Spark Young Writers Zoom meeting, details below:

 

 

Spark Young Writers groups: join in

 

September saw the first meetings (online) for all the Spark Young Writers groups across the region. 20 of the existing groups, plus 2 new online-only groups, met via Zoom on Saturdays throughout the month.

 

It was so wonderful to see you all again. Although running the groups online isn't the same, and we miss seeing you in person, it has been a delight to feel your enthusiasm and hear your fantastic ideas and comments.

 

Most of the groups still have spaces left, so you can still join now.

 

If cost is an issue, please let us know. We have Bursaries available and will be happy to discuss this with you.

 

 

 

But what happens at Spark Young Writers?

 

We snuck into some of the Spark Young Writers Summer Writing Challenge which took place in July.....

Spark Magazine: Lockdown Edition

 

Our next issue of the Spark Young Writers Magazine is a Lockdown special; we are looking for entries (poetry or prose) written during or about lockdown. It's been a difficult time and for many people, writing has been a great way to help them deal with the changes to daily life.

 

This issue will be a celebration of those creative moments.

 

Submissions should be no longer than 500 words. Deadline: 12th October Submit via this form.
