330Words @ Reclaim – Written by Tom Mason

This week, 330Words held a workshop at Reclaim, a Manchester charity that works with young people across the North West to develop skills and confidence.

The workshop saw 330Words’ Tom Mason help a group of young people write their own short stories, using one of several photographs (what else?), kindly submitted by a few of our followers on Twitter, as inspiration. During the workshop, each young person worked on several writing exercises about their chosen photo, before penning a short story about the picture. At the end of the day, each young person read their story out to the rest of the group.

Over the course of the next week, we’ll be posting their short stories onto the blog, so keep an eye out for those.

Words: 139
