Write Jozi Teenz Writing Workshop

Write Jozi Teenz - Workshops for Teens Who Love to Write!

What is Write Jozi Teenz?

Write Jozi Teenz is a creative space for teens who love to write – and who take their craft seriously. We facilitate creative writing workshops aimed at developing young writers through creative expression, gentle accountability, the love of storytelling, and a passion for words and ideas.

From flash fiction to plays, comic strips to poetry – and beyond – we explore a variety of genres, styles and formats. We support creative goals and nurture writing ambition. Mary Shelley was only 19 years old when she wrote Frankenstein!

We believe any teen can write a novella, if it’s their dream. We offer writing inspiration with a difference, and an opportunity for Jozi teens to come together through the shared love of reading & writing.

Join us this August for a unique Short Story workshop!

Ages 13-17
