The Write Way Up
Thursday, April 13, 2006
The new writers' initiative, The Write Stuff, returns to the London Jazz Festival for its third year running following the success of the past two courses.
Aimed at amateur and semi-professional writers interested in jazz and
jazz-related music, this year's free programme of workshops and
seminars will give eight people the opportunity to work with
professional journalists and editors from Jazzwise, The Guardian and
Echoes to develop an understanding of jazz criticism, to improve their
writing skills and gain an inside knowledge of the jazz and music
press. Held in association with BBC Radio 3, Serious, the Southbank
Centre and Jazzwise, the workshops run for a series of late afternoon
and evening sessions and a concert during the festival. Applications
are now invited for those interested in taking part. Please send a 500
word review of a live music performance, together with a CV and a
covering letter explaining why you would benefit from this opportunity
to dianen@serious.org.uk by 3 October 2005. For further details phone
Diane Ngo on 020 7405 9900.
