Write to Work & Write for Work
Write to Work Write to Work is a course that helps unemployed learners explore a diverse range of writing skills, help you get a job or explore further education or vocational training.
'I have created a blog for myself as a result of this course, gained confidence in myself and my ability and have gained an amazing insight into being published.'
Write to Work helps increase your confidence and strengthen your writing abilities with weekly sessions ran by published writers and industry professionals, all offering their personal insights and tips for success. At the end of the programme your work will be presented with a beautiful anthology which will be launched at a public event.
Have you ever wondered how to write for social media or create a successful blog? What about learning to write for the gaming industry or becoming freelance? How do you get into radio or music journalism when you feel you may not have the relevant qualifications? Write to Work is not just your regular writing course and offers support with all of this and more.

Write for Work Write for Work is all about broadening writing skills for those who are currently in work. Writing on the Wall have currently worked with Unite the Union Learning Fund and TUC on expanding this course.
The programme employs professional writers to deliver sessions on their specific skills, employment backgrounds and essential ideas and tips for future progression. However, the course would be aimed at working professionals, in particular project managers, and so would begin and end with a writing residential. This innovative approach will allow the participants to move away from workplace constraints putting creativity and groupwork at the centre of their learning.
With the success of our first Write for Work project, in partnership with Unite the Union Learning Fund, we were able to expand upon the shared vision of this innovative project, with the second 'Write for Work' course that introduced two writing residential weekends. Over the course ten weeks eleven participants worked with an array of writers and industry professionals, who delivered sessions on their areas of expertise, providing invaluable knowledge. This included award winning Welsh novelist Manon Steffan Ros, Dub Poet and Urban Griot Levi Tafari, The Guardian journalist Lyndsey Hanley and Mike Pinnington, Co-founder of Liverpool’s independent arts and cultural online magazine.
