Work With Us
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).
