Another huge milestone for the plans for a centre for writing in Newcastle. 🎉

North East Mayor, Kim McGuinness, has announced that her cabinet are preparing to agree £2 million in funding towards the new centre for writing!

The government is trying to pass an act which will significantly change copyright laws. This act would mean that AI companies could use the work of writers, artists, musicians and all creatives, without permission or payment.

[New Writing North @NewWritingNorth]

Research shows that people from the North East are underrepresented in publishing & that only 1/4 of young adults are told about creative careers at school.

That’s why we teamed up with @HachetteUK to deliver Careers in Publishing Roadshows to schools across the North of Tyne.
