Word Market

Word Market celebrates writing and reading in south Cumbria and strives to develop writers and new writing in the area.

It is managed by South Cumbria Playwrights in partnership with other writers’ and readers’ groups in the region.

The site contains detail of initiatives that could be usefully imitated by writing interests anywhere.

Activities include training workshops, masterclasses, residencies, commissions and special events, with an annual festival.

Word Market is committed to increasing employment opportunities for local writers, professional or amateur, according to the group. Always a useful aspiration.
