Literature Works Advice Surgeries

These Advice Surgeries are aimed at University of Plymouth students to discuss your project for the Festivals module. Literature Works is the regional development organisation for creative writing and literature in the South West, we regularly produce live-literature events and workshops and commission and publish writers and can give insight into these processes. 

Our advice surgeries for the general public usually on these main areas:

• Opportunities - Highlighting opportunities that will help you take the next steps in developing your practice.
• Funding -Finding potential sources and making a convincing case.
• Networks - Connecting you to helpful people and projects.
• Social media & websites - Help making use of various platforms and tools to establish an effective online presence.

We ask that once you have secured your place using the ‘book now’ button, you provide us with a short summary of the project or idea you'd like to discuss (maximum 50 words). At booking you will be asked to select which two of the above six topics you would like to focus on - don't worry if they aren't as applicable to the Univeristy context. We will do our best to talk across the range of focuses you select and will allocate a member of our team to run your surgery based on availability and skill set.

These surgeries will take place online via Zoom, you will be emailed a Zoom link after booking.
