About Nikki Young
I’m children’s author, Nikki Young and I provide English and writing support.
I started the Storymakers Writing Club in 2017, following the publication of my first book, The Mystery of the Disappearing Underpants.
Why learn with us?
The Storymakers Club was set up with the idea of making writing fun.
Weekly groups provide consistency as well as a social setting in which to learn. Peer-group learning is also an important part of the process.
Online Learning

All set for the 11+?
Consolidate the learning and/or get in some last-minute English revision for the 11+ exams.
We will blast through as much vocabulary as we can fit in, brush up on SPAG and do some comprehension and creative writing.
Book-Writing Course
Become a published author!
Plan and write a story during this week-long writing course. When your story is finished, you’ll get a hardback, colour copy of it sent straight to your door.
