‘It was EPIC. When we did the workshop I learnt that when you write poems you should be your self, and don’t stress. Just jumble some words up and then BOOM, you have found your poem’ – from Barry.

‘This workshop provided that vital springboard into creative thinking so crucial in enthusing our students’ – teacher from Wrexham.

The workshops are led by some of Wales’ best writers, the team includes – Dan Anthony, author of Rugby Zombies and Tracey Beaker script writer, Jemma L King, Dylan Thomas Prize short list nominee, and Cynan Jones, Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award short list nominee.
