West Yorkshire Playhouse seeks 21 new writers


New writing and West Yorkshire Playhouse have always been synonymous with one another. This year, successful course So You Want to be a Writer?, returns and to celebrate the Playhouse’s 21st Birthday, 21 people from across Yorkshire, who share a passion for writing will be able to take part in this free course, meet like minded people and be inspired and challenged. The deadline for applications is Friday 11 February.

This free course has been developed and co-ordinated by West Yorkshire Playhouse to encourage everyone with a passion for writing, regardless of experience, to explore and develop their talent. A series of workshops will be held at the theatre, where writers will have the opportunity to gain some invaluable advice from one of Leeds’ most successful writers Mark Catley among others. The course will run from 7 March – 9 May with a showcase of work on Thursday 21 April.

All aspiring writers should apply. Applicants must submit a one page letter describing themselves, why they want to write and why they want to join. Applications must be no more than a single sheet of A4 paper - the deadline is 11 February. Applications are to be sent, via post, to Alex Chisholm, Associate Director (Literary), West Yorkshire Playhouse, Playhouse Square, Quarry Hill, Leeds, LS2 7UP.
