Cultureword is a writing development organisation based in Manchester, providing opportunities for new and aspiring writers to develop their talent and potential.

We deliver a dynamic programme of creative writing and literature events including open mics, festivals, workshops, author signings and more. As a National Portfolio Organisation we receive funding from Arts Council England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The National Black and Asian Writers Conference is our key biennial event platforming crucial discussion and debate about the state of the UK’s publishing industry and representation for Global Majority writers.

We support emerging writers on their journey to publication through both in-house opportunities as well as a broad network of connections and partnerships to help writers succeed.

Cultureword is, above all, a thriving community.
