Professional Development, Online & Masterclass

On Art

Arts writing is vital, precarious literary work. Often the best way to start out as a writer – to have your writing published, work with editors, meet likeminded people and let’s face it, make a bit of a cash. But it can be hard to know what pocket to start out in and how to sustain. Hear from these eclectic arts writers, who have traversed the realms of music, art, performance and film, as well as art gallery and catalogue writing.
