Young women's writing project

Over two years, ‘The Agents for Change’ young women will write about their lives using a mash-up of genres such as poetry, flash fiction and rap to develop memoirs about their unique lives.  They will also attend summer performance workshops with the outstanding writers and publishers who has facilitated workshops nationally and internationally.

The young women’s stories will be edited and published by Vanguard Readings, the publishing company run by Richard Skinner, author of The Red Dancer, The Velvet Gentleman and other works of poetry and fiction.  Richard is the also the Director of the Fiction Programme at the world famous Faber Academy and he will be on the lookout for the next best-selling writer from the workshops.
