DEADLINE TO TAKE PART IN EXCITING NEW YOUNG WRITERS FESTIVAL IS FAST APPROACHING

PACE Theatre Company and CREATE Paisley are working together to produce Write Here Write Now, a Young Writers' festival this summer. The brand-new festival is set to celebrate Scotland’s Year of Young People 2018, putting young people in the spotlight, celebrating their incredible talents, contributions and creating new opportunities for them to shine.  

The project is an opportunity for young people from aged 12-21 with a passion for creating new work to develop their own ideas with support from professional artists, which will be fully rehearsed and then showcased at an event at Paisley Town Hall on 27 July 2018.

Young people are being invited to submit ideas, extracts or examples of their written work which will then be workshopped and developed to form the day-long Write Here Write Now (WHWN) Festival. Successful participants will be involved in every stage of the project and in addition, will receive a self-published book of all the works.
