This one-day event aimed at budding and emerging adult writers crafting novels for 9-12 year olds will take place in the inspiring surroundings of Arnos Vale.

Expect a unique blend of indoor and outdoor workshops led by acclaimed children’s authors Sophie Kirtley, Rachel Delahaye, Emma Read and Ash Bond. Their sessions will explore ideas, characters, setting and editing in a creative and interactive way.
