National Writing Centre Plans Unveiled for North East

WEB Submits Proposal for £5 Million Government Funding

Exciting plans to establish a national writing centre in the North East of England have been submitted to the government by the Writing East Midlands (WEB) network. The ambitious project aims to create a vibrant hub for writers and writing enthusiasts, fostering creativity and literary excellence in the region.

Building Acquisition and Development

WEB has proposed acquiring a suitable building to house the centre. The plans include developing the building to provide dedicated facilities for writing workshops, residencies, and events. The centre will also serve as a resource centre, offering access to a comprehensive collection of literary works and writing tools.

Literary Agent Directory

As part of the proposal, WEB has launched a new edition of its renowned Literary Agent Directory, featuring over 650 literary agents and agencies. This invaluable resource will provide writers with vital information and connections to the publishing industry.
