The Creative Writing Programme seeks to support writers who face barriers to pursuing their writing careers. This includes writers who are from under-represented communities (BAME, LGBTQ+ and other under-represented groups), isolated, unemployed, have a longterm illness or disability, or who are otherwise struggling to meet the cost of attending writing courses. We offer a very limited number of discounted places – typically worth up to 25% of the course fee – on our courses each year. Email Cathy Hayward for details.
