Free CPD opportunities for Writers
Deadline: Fri 28 Nov 2014
Borough of Poole Arts Service is looking to enlist local writers keen to develop workshop and facilitation skills with a view to working in the community as part of an on-going cross-conurbation literature development project

Lit Up! (the literature development project) has received funding from Arts Council England to continue raising the profile of literature in Poole and Bournemouth. As part of this initiative, various project strands are envisaged, including work with community elders, travellers, schools, and addicts in recovery.

With this in mind, successful applicants will be invited to take part in career and professional development opportunities, starting with a series of weekly workshops aimed at producing new material that targets specific audiences such as those mentioned above. These workshops will include literary genres such as poetry, short fiction, life writing, script writing and flash fiction.

Participants will also be supported to develop and deliver group-based writing exercises that can be used in outreach settings.

Workshops will be led by Simon McCormack, who teaches and lectures in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University and has work published in magazines including Poetry Review, The Rialto, New Walk and Under the Radar.

There will also be additional specialist workshops led by visiting professionals tailored towards developing an improved awareness of working with the arts in health care settings as well as workshops that focus on marketing and promotion skills using social media.

A limited number of places are available for applicants who must be local or able to travel to Boscombe on a weekly basis between January and March 2015. In the first instance, please send a CV and statement of interest to matt@artfulscribe.co.uk
