Your Writing
Sign up to our community of Lancashire based writers and readers. We have members who specialise in poetry, prose, flash fiction, script and screen writing. Inside, there’s the opportunity to post samples of your own creative writing and receive feedback from writers across the county – moderated by the Lancashire Writing Hub team of writers.
We also have useful Resources for Writers, including writing tips and exercises and articles on the business end of writing, such as tips on getting your work published.
You retain copyright and control over your own work at all times – and membership is completely free.
More information about copyright from the Intellectual Property Office here and from the British Library here, and a useful overview in ensuring your copyright is protected in an article submitted to LWH by Claire Sharples here.
We run occasional competitions too, where the best pieces from the community will be submitted for showcasing and publication on the main Lancashire Writing Hub site.
