Initially you will service our current local groups and regional branches and organise events outside London, including our Authors North and Authors Everywhere programmes. Part of your role will be to manage engagement with our member-volunteers via our Facebook Groups.

Whilst doing this, you will work on our Local Development Programme, making funding applications to the Arts Council and other funding bodies, ensuring there are sufficient resources to implement our vision to have representatives based across the UK. Once representatives are appointed you will then coordinate and manage activity in the regions.

You will work closely with our Events, Communications, Membership and Prizes teams to programme events and activities aimed at improving the business skills and continued professional development of writers, keeping them informed of funding and work opportunities, and providing writers with vital professional community networks. You will also work with our Events Manager to integrate an annual strand of events to promote our awards, prizes and prize-winners.
