Schools Youth Author Workshop at CWA
Students from Chiltern Way Academy's Wendover Campus were the first to participate in a workshop with budding author Ciaran Thapar. This literary workshop explored the themes in his new book, Cut Short. His book explores the harsh reality of young people and their exposure to knife crime as well as the life-long repercussions it comes with. Each student was able to work with the author in a collaborative 2-hour workshop where they received a signed copy of his new book to take home. The students were talking about the workshop long after it had finished and went on to submit their own pieces for a creative writing anthology. Each student piece will be read aloud over the radio by a professional author or publisher. They will also be given the chance to have their work published in the anthology, and receive two free copies.
