Occasionally, we are looking to add to our small team.
We also advertise short-term contract work on specific projects, freelance roles, and project-funded opportunities.
Year-round, we need volunteers to help with the Spark Young Writers groups, and with the running of our public events including the Birmingham Literature Festival (annual – usually autumn) and our National Writers’ Conference (annual – usually June).
We are looking for Assistant Writers for our Spark Young Writers groups, go here for more information.
Writing West Midlands runs the largest number of creative writing workshops for young people in the country. For 10 years our groups have been growing, and we now run more than 200 writing workshops a year.
We are looking for emerging writers to help inspire the next generation of creative writers. You will help lead one of our Spark Young Writers groups for 10 monthly sessions (2 hours per session), under the guidance of a professional writer.
This is a voluntary post, but we will cover reasonable travel expenses.
Writing West Midlands are asking individuals or organisations to answer a tender for a piece of research on the impact Spark Young Writers’ groups have on those who participated in them.
The brief can be viewed in full here.
Please get in touch with Jonathan Davidson if you have any further questions.
To be kept up-to-date with our events and opportunities as well as those from other literature organisations across the region, please join our mailing list. We will never share your details, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
