| NEW Friends and Supporters Fund |
We have set up a new fund for Friends and Supporters of WSL to enable those students who would like to do so to add a donation when they book. This additional money will be used to support fee reductions for students on very low incomes who have a real urge to write.

| Reduced fees |
Reduced fees are available to a limited number of students who are experiencing financial hardship, including beginner writers. These are offered through our Friends and Supporters Fund. For more information, have a word in confidence with Val Moore

| Congratulations |
Congratulations to members of our Saturday morning Writers' Manuscript Clinic. This keen group have worked hard over the last couple of years, ably supported by tutors Rod Duncan, Bead Roberts and Steve Loveless, and are now reporting some real writing successes. There is a little space still available in this workshop for students with some existing experience who are interested in taking their writing to the next stage.

Our extensive range of courses and writers' workshops include fiction and non-fiction, poetry and children's writing, plus playwriting for stage, radio and screen. Students on our courses learn editing and publishing skills, including style and presentation. We take developing writers through from newspaper and magazine publishing to short story and novel writing, from biography and memoir to writing a film script. In a friendly supportive environment, we nurture students' creative and craft skills and guide their professional development.
BURSARIES Writing School Leicester has very limited funds, but if you can't afford the fee please do have a word in confidence with Val Moore. |
