Writing West Midlands

Description

Writing West Midlands evolved from the work of the Birmingham Book Festival, established in 1999.

The organisation is now the literature development agency for the region. They've achieved National Portfolio Organisation status from Arts Council England in 2012; an important step which confirmed its strategic role in building the sector’s diversity and resilience.

Writing West Midlands now provides a wide range of services for writers and readers, including its Spark Young Writers programme, Room 204 Writer Development scheme, the Birmingham Literature Festival and the West Midlands Readers’ Network.
