The National Academy of Writing was set up ten years ago to offer writers the same quality of training available to actors at RADA and musicians at the Royal College of Music. Specialised training both individually and in groups, always by working practitioners, is the accepted start for actors, musicians and visual artists. Now emerging writers with demonstrable talent can benefit from a similar approach.
The Academy has close links with the world of publishing and is supported by leading writers. Editors, agents and other industry professionals will also give presentations offering insights into their work.
'Natural creative talent is not enough. Writers need to learn their skills and perfect their craft. That's the task of The National Academy of Writing, to convert promise into achievement.' Jim Crace, Novelist & Academy Patron.
The aim of the founders is for the Academy to become a showcase for national and international writing talent. The Academy is led by practising writers and has extensive contacts in the industry through the NAW Board of Trustees, Patrons and Partners.
