The 'Developing Amateur Writers’ Network' (D.A.W.N.) is an original writers’ group based in Slough.Participants will be guided by a local writer, Richard Hill, who has had articles published in over 20 UK leisure and lifestyle magazines with an accumulative estimated readership in excess of 5 million.
D.A.W.N. brings together people who want to write in a mutually supportive environment and provides a blend of learning and sharing.
D.A.W.N. is an inventive, innovative and interesting blend of learning and sharing amongst participants, some of whom have no previous experience and others who may have had work published.
D.A.W.N. also enhances the power of the digital age, enabling those that wish to, participate in ‘blended learning’, combining weekly workshops based at a local venue together with ‘e-learning’.
D.A.W.N. is open to everyone who writes, or wishes to write, regardless of previous experience.
D.A.W.N. is open and welcoming to everyone, regardless of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, sex, marital status, family responsibility, age, disability, sexual orientation or religious belief.
D.A.W.N. is committed to enable everyone and anyone who wishes to participate, to do so. In the first instance, everyone who wishes to, will have the opportunity to meet the tutor in private to discuss their writing aims, ambitions and aspirations in order to formulate the best possible learning and sharing environment for all. Wherever possible, learning resources and materials will be made available in formats tailored to suit each individual.
Whether you want to write simply for pleasure, for publication or both, D.A.W.N. is for you.
