Welcome

Welcome to the Writing Room - the website of writing for and by young people.  

This is a membership site (Writing Room members log in through the notebook) but anyone can use its resources and read the work of our busy writers. Members have previously attended a residential writing course at an Arvon centre. 

Lumb Bank, our Ted Hughes Arvon Centre in West Yorkshire, has recently hosted writing weeks with Bolton School, Lochend Community High, Hill House St Mary's and Hollywells High - a warm Writing Room welcome to all of the students who attended those courses.

Students from St Catherine's Catholic High School attended The Hurst, our John Osborne Arvon Centre in Shropshire, last week.

We look forward to reading their writing. 

 While you are visiting the Writing Room don't forget to take a look at our workshop where you'll find help with your writing skills as well as advice from many of the famous writers who have worked with Arvon .

All our young writers have been on an Arvon creative writing course at one of our four writing houses around the UK. Find out more about Arvon - get your teacher interested in bringing a group of you and your classmates or friends along!
