Writers
Our ambition is to be home for North East writers. We work in partnership with different organisations and authors to bring you writing courses and workshops, as well as a writers -in-residence programme, competitions and more!
Lost Words Writing Competition
Calling all writers! We have a new writing competition which offers writers the chance to celebrate the North East dialect.
We're inviting adults, aged 20 and over, to submit contemporary short stories between 500-1000 words in length which use The Word's Word Bank of Lost Dialects as their inspiration.
The deadline for submissions is midnight on 28 February 2020.
