Young Writers Studio

Each session offers a supportive, low-pressure space to write, experiment, and develop creative ideas alongside others. Led by a guest facilitator each season, the studio focuses on writing as a practice rather than a performance. Participants are invited to write in different forms with no expectation to share or produce a finished piece. Sessions include gentle prompts, dedicated writing time, and optional conversation, creating space for both new and experienced writers to explore their voice at their own pace. Young Writers Studio values curiosity, accessibility, and creative confidence. It’s designed for young adults who want time and permission to write. Alison Evans is the award-winning author of the queer YA books Ida, Highway Bodies, and Euphoria Kids.

For emerging writers, 14 to 25 years.
