The Story Room has been running creative writing workshops for children since 2013. We welcome children of all abilities, from the age of 5 to 16 years old. We started out in North London and now, with the addition of our Zoom classes, we teach children all over the globe. Our aim is to nurture and inspire young writers, giving them the confidence to write and enabling that hidden writer within them to emerge and fly! We all love what we do at The Story Room and consider it a privilege to ‘work’ with the children who come to us. Poetic Voices is an exciting platform to showcase the talent of our young writers and to let their work leap off the page and into the listeners’ ear. What a treat! https://www.storyroom.co.uk/
