Apply now for the next project which will start in January 2024.
Write By You wants to inspire the next generation of female writers. We believe too many young writers don’t see themselves reflected in the stories surrounding them.
We want to change that.
We work with young, female, female-identifying and non-binary writers (aged 12-18) who are underrepresented in the publishing industry (BAME, LGBTQI+, carers, disabled, low-income household) to develop their creativity, confidence and find their personal voice. We provide workshops with professional writers, followed by 1-2-1 coaching to develop a piece of work for our annual anthology. All workshops are fully accessible.
Workshops that enable you to try a range of genres, explore what you really want to say and find your own way to express it.
Personalised tutorials to develop your work and provide one-to-one support for your creative and writing needs.
Work with professional writers, create a high-quality printed anthology and help to plan your own celebration event to share your achievements.
