First word, last word
Reporting WRITE Festival 2019 in partnership with The Writing Squad
Vlogs, blogs and podcasts, previews, interviews and reviews, inside information and sideways looks!
You will be able to keep up-to-date with everything that happens during WRITE Festival thanks to a group of young people who will be working with The Writing Squad to develop their writing and reporting skills.
The group, aged between 16-21 years old, will be at The Word throughout the two weeks posting daily updates, interviewing authors and giving their take on what happens, as it happens!
They will work alongside a project manager and two Writing Squad writers to develop their skills in filming, recording and editing and have the opportunity to gain real life experience creating engaging content.
