In its first five years, Adventures in Fiction has already resulted in three publications and referred a further ten writers to literary agents. Every year, apprentices successfully secure funding from a range of sources including Arts Council England.
We are pleased to announce the fifth year of the Apprenticeships In Fiction scheme. This year we are offering five placements including one for crime and one for children’s fiction (age range 11-16). The selection panel will include leading literary agent Anna Power from Johnson and Alcock.
For 2011 we are able to offer a fuller and more comprehensive programme with an expanded team of mentors. In addition to the five key placements, we have also opened up the scheme to allow selected runners-up access to the first stage of our six-stage programme. Stage-One is now available in the form of a limited number of targeted appraisals, workshops and one-to-ones.
The financial assistance of Arts Council England has enabled us to offer an award of £525 towards each apprenticeship. (A subsidy of over 15%.)
Thank you all for your interest and support.
