Hello and welcome to the Saturday Groups page of the Storymakers creative writing club.
I offer a number of group lessons that take place on a Saturday afternoon during term time. All are on Zoom, so you can join us from wherever you are in the country or the world!
Don’t worry if you’ve missed the start of the term. If there are spaces left, you can still join us. Also, if you are thinking of joining us but not sure, you are welcome to pay for a one-off session before committing to the full term. Please contact me if you would like to do this.
Book a trial session.

What Saturday groups do we offer?
There are three Saturday groups on offer at the Storymakers Club:
The Story Writers
The Story Writers take a step-by-step approach to learning
It all starts with an idea
Where do ideas come from?
Ideas are all around us, we just have to use all our senses to find them. Even the most unlikely things can trigger an idea. We simply say ‘what if’ and turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Once we have an idea, we move on to characters. Who will star in this story? What do they look like? What are their likes/dislikes?
The Story Writers learn the mechanics and language of story writing. This group is lively, imaginative and fun and will engage even the most reluctant of writers.
This group meets weekly on Saturday afternoons from 2.00 p.m. to 3.00 p.m. SUITABLE FOR 7-10 YEAR-OLDS.

Terms and Conditions:
It is Storymakers’ policy that payment for the full term must be made upfront. Due to the small group sizes, and therefore limited place availability, we cannot offer refunds or discounted terms for missed sessions.
