Writing on the Wall Presents
Over 12 weeks we will be hosting workshops, master classes and social meetings all via Zoom video conferencing, hosted by published writers and industry professionals, all offering their personal insights and tips for success.
We know how important it is to be creative during a time like this and we want to provide a supportive and friendly space for learners to explore a diverse range of writing skills and help you build your portfolio, develop professional connections and take positive next steps into employment or further education.
During the course you’ll be producing work for publication that will be printed in a professional anthology, which will then be sold in local bookstores, Waterstones and online. We are excited to announce for the first time we will also be providing one on one mentoring support for participants with industry professionals.
