Do you have a teen who is writing a novel? Would they like some extra support & encouragement during January?
Junior Writers Club is starting a 'Write Your Novel' group session for teens to give them support and encouragement to make progress on their novel.
There will be four sessions where we will answer any burning questions your teen has about getting their writing done, creating characters, world building, or anything else they want to know. They are welcome to bring snippets of their manuscripts to either get feedback on or work on during the session.
Sessions are flexible and designed to meet the participants where they are at.
Details and to book, click here - https://juniorwritersclub.weteachme.com/classes/1040526-write-your-novel-for-teens
If your child is under 12, and is interested in support for their novel, let us know as we can add a group if there is enough interest.
Our Virtual Writers Groups will also be running during January, and details are here - https://juniorwritersclub.weteachme.com/
