Longer version:

Writers' HQ has launched a new writing competition to give writers who are short on time and money the opportunity to access a year of online creative writing courses.

Writers' HQ, which runs creative writing retreats, courses and workshops “for badass writers with no time or money”, is offering FIVE writers the chance to win a year's full access to the course material, worth over £500, thanks to an Arts Council grant. 

The courses cover every aspect of writing, from idea generation to plotting to editing to manuscript submission and short fiction.

Co-founder of Writers' HQ and award-winning author Jo Gatford says: “We know how hard it is to juggle work, life, study, childcare and still try to carve out time for creative work. It often feels like a luxury and gets pushed to the side.

“We're specifically looking for writers whose circumstances otherwise preclude their ability to at tend workshops, courses and access other development services, for example: living on a low income, being a single parent, working full time while having young children, or living with a disability or mental health issue.” 

Competition entrants are asked to send either the opening 1,500 words of a novel or a short story up to 1,500 words, and a short application statement (around 200-500 words) on why you would benefit from the courses.
