Write Across
In 2022 ±«Óãtv Writers launched the first Write Across programme, a development scheme in which each iteration focusses on a specific area of the UK. For the first Write Across, we worked closely with various partners in the Liverpool city region to identify fresh talent and create accessible entry points to the ±«Óãtv for new writers in the area. Write Across returned in 2024 with a focus on Birmingham & the Black Country. Find out more details.
