About

We provide workshops, 1-1 support and investment for young writers and literature activists.

Our initial programme is for writers aged 16-21 who live, work or study in the North of England and we continue to offer writers and literature activists writing and professional development as they begin their careers.

We help them establish themselves as individual artists, collectives and new start up companies.

We are building a community of artists who make new work together and support each other's development.

We link writers and activists with the literature industry and independent sector, while encouraging them to produce and distribute work themselves.
