To apply, please fill out this application form on the online portal. You will be able to save and edit your responses at any time during the application window. If you have any questions or need help to use the portal, please contact us. A member of the team will be happy to help.
The application will ask for your personal details, questions which will help us assess eligibility and how the Representing Wales programme would help you at this stage of your career. We will also invite you to upload a short sample (1,000 words or 4-6 poems) of your unpublished creative writing.
For additional information on eligibility, and if you are submitting a graphic novel or spoken word poetry, please refer to the FAQs.
Dyslexia Friendly and Large Print versions of the application form and frequently asked questions are available on the downloads page. If you would prefer to fill out one of these forms rather than the online application form, please return your completed application form to post@literaturewales.org along with your example of creative work.
