The Oxford Writers Wheel brings together young writers in Oxford, fostering craft and community through workshops, one-to-one mentoring, and friendship. These workshops are free and open to young writers aged 13-18 from all backgrounds. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, this is your chance to express yourself with support from top-class writers.
