Crawley Library won an All Stories national competition to host the fully-funded workshop aimed at encouraging and supporting aspiring writers from under-represented backgrounds.
The workshop will take place on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 10am.
It will be presented by Sussex-born author Patrice Lawrence, who will introduce participants to the basics of writing for children.
Duncan Crow, the county council’s cabinet member for community support, fire and rescue, said: “West Sussex Libraries are thrilled to host this exciting All Stories workshop, perfect for aspiring children’s writers.
“This event offers a unique opportunity to meet a talented author, learn the basics of writing for children and participate in a workshop designed to spark imagination and creativity.”
All Stories will also establish a writing group at Crawley Library to continue supporting local writers, as well as providing a ‘writer resources’ pack, containing information about supportive writing organisations.
The pack will be made available to workshop participants, along with anyone visiting the venue after the workshop.
