The Difference We Make

We bring people together through reading, writing, and engaging in ideas.

Since 1996, we’ve found and supported thousands of people – of all ages and backgrounds – to develop a love and talent for writing.

We’ve helped them to access creative opportunities and life-changing chances, to enable them to flourish.

But we can’t do it alone. Can you help us?
