Representing Wales: Launching a series of public online events for writers
Representing Wales is a 12-month programme which provides professional development opportunities for writers from low-income backgrounds. The programme is funded by The National Lottery through the Arts Council of Wales. This year, a series of selected events will be made open to the public, offering open and accessible opportunities for writers and creatives across Wales to further their understanding of the industry, widen their networks and gain inspiration for their writing.
Details of the first three events are noted below, and a further three events will be announced during the summer.
All events will be hosted on Zoom and are free to attend.
There will be live captioning and/or BSL for Deaf/hard of hearing participants provided in selected sessions. We will try to meet additional access requirements wherever possible, please get in touch with specific access requirements, concerns, or requests.
