We are always looking for new workshops to help light a fire under the butts of our brilliant writers.

If you are an author or workshop facilitator and you have something up your sleeve that you think our writers will love, please get in touch!

Series that are open to pitches for workshops:

• The Do Things Series (all year round)
  A series dedicated to getting shit done. Productivity, motivation, inspiration, executive functions. Writing with disabilities, writing around caring responsibilities. How the fuck do we get shit done?
• The Submit Series (all year round)
  Supporting writers to submit their work to competitions, lit mags and other publishers.
• The Write A Short Story Festival (March)
  Take your short stories from good to great with a month of in-depth workshops exploring the ins and outs of short story writing.
• The Write A Novel Festival (June)
  Workshops and events supporting writers to get deeper into their novels.
• Writing as Resistance Festival (September)
  A deep dive into the rebellious, subversive nature of creativity and what that means for an individual writer sitting in front of a laptop wishing things were better.

We pay £150 for a one hour masterclass.

We particular welcome pitches from writers belonging to systemically marginalised groups.

Before you email a pitch please note the following:

Things we want from you pls:

• Do be specific. A workshop on “productivity” or “writing a novel” is not specific. Saying you’re available to run any workshop is not specific. Get super granular and in-depth. Bring us your special interest and infodump right in our faces. Yeah! 
• Have fun and do something different. Turn ideas upside down. If we see something we’ve not seen before, we’ll likely snap it up.
• Be deeply you. Authenticity > predictability.

Things we do not do:

• We do not run workshop about earning money from being a writer/making it as a freelancer.
• We do not run workshops about journalism or copywriting. Only creative writing – in this context means fiction, creative non-fiction, memoir, poetry.
