For Writers

Literature Wales aims to develop and support writers at every stage of their writing journey to achieve their full potential.

In this section of our website, you will find practical information and advice and useful resources, which can assist writers at all stages of their careers, and information on our new writer development programme Representing Wales.

Writers may also benefit from attending a physical or digital course at Tŷ Newydd Writing Centre, or a retreat at Nant Writers’ Retreat cottage. The Tŷ Newydd course programme features a mix of residential weekend and week-long courses and retreats – both in the English and Welsh language – for writers of all levels and abilities.
