Spread the Word is expanding its Developing Tutors programme to offer London-based writers a paid opportunity to teach their first creative writing workshop.

The programme is now open to applications from London-based writers who meet the following criteria:

- Has had some creative work published, but not necessarily a full-length project;
- Writing fiction or non-fiction prose;
- Has not previously taught a creative writing workshop;

This form is for written applications. There is a separate form if you would like to submit via audio or video submission.
The deadline for applying is 10am on Tuesday 30 April. We aim to be in touch with all applicants by Monday 13 May. If you have any questions, please contact bobby@spreadtheword.org.uk.
