Our UK wide writing weekends (supported by Arts Council England) are due to begin in 2020. 

 We are bringing 4 workshops, 1-2-1s with agents/authors/editors, hours of free writing time and all-inclusive lunch, snacks and drinks from 9-5pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

You can sign up for 1 day or both. And we offer concessions for those eligible, and (interest free and up to 6 months) payment plans to help spread the cost. But be quick, several venues are already nearly sold out, and we limit numbers at each, ranging from 10-16.

Opening on 1st December, our novel award returns, this year judged by literary agent, Alice Williams.

With a £500 prize, and a guaranteed place on the WriteMentor summer mentoring programme, it is well worth the £10 entry. Open to writers of children’s fiction (from PB to YA).

We also offer 30 free entries for marginalised writers (no evidence needed).

Subscribe to our brand new, quarterly magazine dedicated to writers of children’s fiction.

Each issue, we’ll bring you features with top authors, industry professionals and YOU, the children’s writing community.

We think our newsletter is well worth signing up for.

Each week we give you a free blog post on an aspect of writing from a published author, we celebrate the successes of those in the community, we offer discounts and offers on everything we do, including scholarships and giveaways.

You also have the added benefit of being the first to know about our new courses and events, and get first dibs on all places. 

And if you sign up, you get, not 1, but 2 free writing craft guides, contrbuted to by the WriteMentor mentors of 2018 and 2019. Seriously, why wouldn’t you?

Spark is our paid, ongoing mentoring service, where you are paired with one of our mentors, to work with them on a 1-2-1 basis.

Each month, you will work on an agreed numbers of words (we have several levels) and have an email consulation to discuss any issues.

Starting from £25 a month, it’s very affordable and we also offer, partial and full manuscript, developmental editing as part of our Quick Spark service if you’re in a hurry!

Two of our Spark mentees are now agented, and we offer great value for money, comparatively, so do enquire if you’re interested in ongoing support for your writing.
