Pen to Print is working to build a network of support for aspiring writers in Barking and Dagenham.
We identify local writing talent and provide them with opportunities to produce quality writing for publication.
The programme is funded until 2022 and features the Pen to Print Competitions:
- The Book Challenge
- The Poetry and Short Story Competition
- The Michael Feld Creative Writing Competition for Young People (7 to 14 years)
In addition to the main competitions, there are a series of on-going author events classes, workshops and other activity supported by established creative writing experts, authors and artists.
These events are open to everyone and are designed to inspire and encourage aspiring writers, as well as providing entertainment to the wider reading public.
Pen to Print has been made possible with funding as a National Portfolio Organisation from The Arts Council, England.
