Applications for the 2023/24 programme will open at 11am on Wednesday 11th January.

The London Library Emerging Writers Programme, now entering its fifth year, is a unique opportunity which offers writers, in all genres, one year’s free membership of The London Library and includes writing development masterclasses, literary networking opportunities, peer support and guidance in use of the Library’s resources.

The London Library Emerging Writers Programme is open to anyone over 16 years of age who is committed to pursuing a career in writing and wants to develop their practice. Applicants should be working, or planning to work, on a specific project, with the aim of publication or production, and have a clear idea of how they might use the Library’s resources to achieve that aim. They should be willing to fully participate in all elements of the Programme and immerse themselves in the writing community it offers. There is no application fee and participation on the Programme is funded.

The next Programme will run from 1st July 2023 to 30 June 2024. Applications open at 11am on Wednesday 11th January 2023 and close on at 11am on Thursday 2nd March 2023.
