Write for our blog

This summer, New Writing North is launching a brand new website. We are now looking for writers and readers based in the North of England who are interested in contributing to our blog. The blog will take a prominent place on our website and posts will be shared on our social media accounts and in this newsletter.

We are looking for one resident blogger each month, who will write a series of three posts around a particular topic or theme. We can pay £50 per post. If you are interested in applying to be our resident blogger in the next few months, please email Laura Fraine by 22 July with ‘Resident blogger’ in the subject line, two paragraphs about yourself and your work, a suggestion of the subject you would like to write about, and a brief outline of how the series of posts might develop.

We may also be able to offer occasional unpaid blog posts to writers and readers in the North of England. These may be of interest to you if you are working on a funded literary project, are promoting a newly-published work, or have something you want to get off your chest. If you have a post you would like to suggest for our blog, email Laura Fraine with brief details. Please do not send completed posts at this stage.
