This in from Ceri, in her own words, Ed
Writer Squads are New Writing South’s flagship project to support the development of young writers across the south east. The sessions include introductions to a wide range of writing styles, from poetry to playwriting and lyrics to flash fiction, to support the development of young writers in the region.
Run by playwright
Playwright, Sean Tyler, runs the Writer Squad. Sean’s plays are performed on both sides of the Atlantic.
He is resident playwright with Godlight Theatre Company, New York, and is developing several projects with them.
Meet one Saturday per month
The Squads meet once a month on a Saturday, and are run by a professional writer, the ‘Squad Leader’, as well as having visits by exciting guest writers.
This isn’t like school; this isn’t like a writing group, because the young writers lead the group.
