IT’S YOUNG Writers Day at Taunton Library next Thursday, August 22.

Under the tutelage of local author Beth Webb, who has written a total of 14 books for young people, budding scribblers between the ages of ten and 16 will have the chance to create and put forward their ideas, and get feedback for their efforts.

A flash fiction workshop runs from 10am to 11.30am, followed by one-on-one consultations with Beth from 1pm-4pm.

Both sessions are free. To book a 20-minute slot phone library information on 0845- 3459177.
