How to pitch to Swanwick
The school is always interested to hear from people with the right skills who would like to run courses or act as an evening speaker. Submissions for the 2019 school open on 17th August 2018 and close on 30th November 2018. If you wish to be considered then here is the procedure.
Course Tutors
Once submissions have closed they will be reviewed and you will be advised whether or not you have been successful before 31st January 2019.
Evening Speakers
The school has had many well known speakers over the years and is interested to hear from accomplished speakers, able to engage, inform as well as entertain an audience. If you would like to be considered, or you have a recommendation/contact with someone you believe suitable, then please email: chairman@swanwickwritersschool.org.uk and provide more details.
Course Tutors
- In a WORD document, state the title of your course.
- Identify whether your course is a 4 part, (specialist course) 2 part (short course) or a one hour session. If you have not submitted to the school before then look through the programme web pages to see examples from the current year.
- Give an outline of your course and then explain what each session will cover. Tell us why people should attend your course. What will they learn? What are the benefits of attending it? Will there be exercises within the sessions? Opportunities for participants to share their work? The more detail you provide then the better the chance of being selected.
- Tell us about yourself in a short bio. Give details about your experience and any other information relevant to delivering your course. If you have a website then please include a link to it.
- Many tutors offer one to one sessions with delegates, to review a sample of their work and provide constructive feedback. These help raise school funds but a small fee is provided to tutors. If your course is selected then further details will be provided but you may tell us on your application if you are happy to consider doing these. Once complete, send your document as an email attachment to: vicechair@swanwickwritersschool.org.uk
