Inspiring ideas, developing writers, creating connections

Welcome to New Writing South


New Writing South works to create an environment in the south-east in which creative writers and new writing can flourish. 

We do this by recognising and nurturing talent and by creating an environment in which excellent writing thrives.

We offer writers’ development, encouragement, resources and opportunities to make new contacts. We also programme numerous events that aim to enhance skills, stretch creativity and broker partnerships with those who produce and publish work.

Membership is open to everyone involved in creative writing in the south east.

Writers in Education

We have a professional team of Writers in Education experienced in bringing alive all forms of creative writing in schools, the workplace and in the community.
