Brilliant work Alex, as always!
Exciting news to share - an article on Igniting Writing has been published in @thebookseller! It covers what can be done to get more kids reading and features quotes from four of our group members, Chloe, Jacob, Ashira and Aanya! Thanks to @mollyflatt for co-ordinating.

Great article Alex 👏
Igniting Writing got a nice feature on the @WBC_Libraries blog recently. Have a read here: wokinghamboroughlibraries.wo… It covers some Wokingham Library volunteers sharing why they give up their time for the local community (and has the background on how Igniting Writing was set up)!

The sessions were lots of fun. Glad I was able to share my experience of what makes good dialogue and hear all the ideas buzzing around the room. There's lots of talent 👏 All brilliantly led by Alex
Today's @WBC_Libraries teen creative writing sessions were on dialogue, with @BlueGold201 as a guest speaker. The group wrote conversations with two arguing characters. Highlights included two siblings disputing whether a monster was real and a robot being quizzed by a teacher!

Woohoo! Well done to all the entrants and special congratulations to the winners! 😊
