We’re delighted to announce our mentored writers for the second year of Tour the Writer.
The second year of our writer development programme will see our new cohort of Mentored Writers receiving additional support from Paines Plough and their local partner organisation to develop a new play, which includes written and in-person dramaturgical support.
We can’t wait to continue working with both the Mentored Writers and Open Pathway writers on their creative journeys.
The Tour the Writer Year 2 mentored writers activity is generously supported by the Noel Coward Foundation.
