Writers’ Centre Norwich is a literature development agency based in Norwich. We are interested in both the artistic and social impact of creative writing, and work with writers, readers and diverse communities on a wide range of ongoing and one off projects and events.  We work locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, and have developed productive partnerships with many organisations.

Formerly known as New Writing Partnership, in March 2009 we changed our name and visual identity, (designed by Norwich company The Click) with assistance from the Arts Council England funded AmbITion project. We are also in the process of building a new website, which will go live in early 2010. These developments reflect internal changes in the structure and organisation of Writers’ Centre Norwich designed to streamline our creative plans and communications and to reflect the digital advances of recent times.

Writers’ Centre Norwich board members are: Robert McCrum (Chair), Ellah Allfrey, Dame Gillian Beer, Rachel Calder, Graham Creelman (Vice-Chair), Jill Dawson, Rachel Higgs, Rebecca Swift, Bill Thompson and Andrew Yuill.

Board observers are: Nikki Rotsos (Norwich City Council), Mari Martin (Norfolk County Council) and Lucy Sheerman (Arts Council England, East). Together with the University of East Anglia, they represent our key stakeholders.
