New Writing North has worked in formal partnership with Northumbria University since 2012. The partnership reinforces already extensive links between two organisations that each make a unique contribution to culture, creativity, new writing, practice-led research and development. It sets a framework for continued collaboration that reflects New Writing North’s status as a centre of excellence in new writing and Northumbria University’s mission to make a powerful contribution to cultural and economic development and wellbeing in the region.
Our partnership with the university has creative writing at its heart, but encompasses broad work with many departments across the academic faculty from forensics and policing to law, arts management and leadership and the humanities.
