Writers' Centre Norwich receives £240,000 from Arts Council England
Writers' Centre Norwich receives £240,000 from Arts Council England’s Catalyst fund to support its fund raising development.
The Catalyst grant will enable Writers' Centre Norwich to create a major national digital literature hub as well as a new literary commissioning fund that will provide new writing, cross art form and work in translation for that hub.
