Turning the Next Page

In April 2011, over 60 graduates from Scotland’s Creative Writing Masters and PhD programmes gathered together with early career writers at the CCA for an action-packed day of workshops and panel sessions exploring ways of making a living as a writer and looking at the realities of being published and produced today.

Resources from the day are now available to download here so if you weren’t able to come to the day, you won’t miss out.

• Boosting your income with freelance journalism by Fiona Gibson
• Text Sells! Writing for Business by Jules Horne
• Writing in the Community: Making Workshops Work by Drew Campbell
• Your Book Needs You! Busting the Myths of Promotion by Sara Sheridan
• Yes I Can! (Powerpoint presentation) by Linda Cracknell

The Writer’s Compass (NAWE) was asked to organize this event by Creative Scotland, the major funder of the day. We were delighted to be able to work in partnership with CCA, Glasgow Life, Gutter and Scottish Book Trust.
