About this Event
Writers at York
For early career writers, making the jump from debut publication to the next project can be complex and full of uncertainty. In this event, writers Kym Deyn, Katherine Horrex and J.A. Mensah will speak about their experiences as New Writing North’s Jerwood Fellows, exploring how they have developed their practice and navigated the publishing industry.This event is in partnership with New Writing North and supported by the Jerwood Foundation.
The Jerwood Fellowships at New Writing North have been awarded to three early career published writers, currently living in the North of England. Each writer receives a bursary of £10,000 and a bespoke package of support, including mentoring, over the course of a year, beginning in 2026. The fellowships were open to writers of fiction, poetry or narrative non-fiction who have had work professionally published. With a focus on artistic excellence, this opportunity aims to support writers at a pivotal point in their careers, as they develop new work towards publication. These Fellowships are generously supported by the Jerwood Foundation and managed by New Writing North.
