The Write Stuff Music Journalism Course
Founded and organised by Jazzwise and festival producers Serious, the Write Stuff gives new jazz and improv music writers an opportunity to work with professional journalists to improve their writing skills, develop an understanding of music criticism and the workings of the music press and blogosphere.
The Write Stuff is open to younger writers aged 18-25, who will attain an Arts Award qualification following a successful completion of the course.
The workshops will include sessions on feature writing and live reviews by Jazzwise writer and BBC broadcaster Kevin Le Gendre; an insight into the history and development of the UK jazz and music press with Jazzwise editor-in-chief Jon Newey; and a workshop on online journalism and career development with Jazzwise editor Mike Flynn and an invited guest, alongside input from other writers and jazz industry figures.
This year’s participants will have their work posted on both the Jazzwise and festival’s websites, and one review considered to be of particular merit will be published in a subsequent issue of Jazzwise.
