Creative Writing
Unthank School of Writing

unthank school of writing

The Unthank School aims to help new writers achieve what they want to achieve, whether that’s to start writing by means of experiment and play, or to finish a long-worked novel or project. Our approach is student-centred and eclectic. We work out what you want for your writing and work with you to attain it, whatever your idea or genre. The most important thing to us is the writing itself and the process by which you shape it. We will not burden you with the unnecessary self-appraisals common in university creative writing courses. Neither do we grade work-in-progress as we feel this is adds extra pressure onto new writers. All we want is to help you find your voice and finish your projects.

Write 2 Heal

write 2 heal

After developing a passion for writing and literature as a young girl, I dabbled in all forms of creative writing. Many years later, I decided to attempt to hone my craft and studied for a BA Honours in English Literature & Creative Writing, with the Open University. Writing had always been a therapeutic outlet for me, but the thing that I noticed during my time of ‘writing every day’, was that as I did so, my body, mind and soul, gradually healed more and more from the chronic health conditions, that had impacted my life since my early twenties.

OUR STORY Hello, we are Elane and Sarah, Co-Founders of I Am In Print. We’ve known each other since our first day of secondary school – when Sarah was forced to sit next to Elane and hasn’t been able to get rid of her since. Keen life explorers we’ve shared numerous adventures, including backpacking around Australia, driving from Las Vegas to San Francisco and getting lost in Hong Kong. Despite often living in different continents we have always managed to meet halfway and have run up many a phone bill. In 2014 we set ourselves the challenge to co-write a book and spent many hours developing plots and characters.  The idea for I Am In Print bumped into us in 2018; we wanted a community to unite all writers, published and unpublished, and increase access to top agents and publishers. Broadcasts came first. Then we became the first to host online feedback sessions. We call them #Agent121 - an opportunity to meet an agent onscreen for advice on your submission package. In-person events began, then online publishing and writing days. And in 2022 we became Directors of our own I Am Writing Festival. We loved meeting members of the writing community at the festival in Winchester 2022 and in Bristol 2023.  Where ever you are on your writing journey, we would love to see you at one of events soon.

Stoke-on-Trent

Stephanie Burgess aka ‘Marina Red’ is an established zine creator and writer from Cheshire. She is one of the original riot grrrls, having played in punk bands throughout the 90’s. She runs her own fanzine and blog riotgrrrlzine.co.uk, which forms part of her postgraduate research into the Spanish alternative music scene, but also covers Riot Grrrl and punk bands from throughout Europe. She is an old skool paper ‘zine creator, who crafts her ‘zines by hand using collage and a mixed-media approach, creating unique pages and art which are highly representative of punk zine culture and influenced by the Washington Hard-Core Riot Grrrl Scene of the early 1990s. In particular, Kathleen Hanna’s Riot Grrrl Manifesto, which was first published in a ‘zine in 1992. She has written for a variety of online music publications, is a published writer and translator, and also runs creative writing and ‘zine production masterclasses. Currently working towards her PhD “In Search of Spain’s Riot Grrrls” for Manchester University, she has over 20 years experience of both academic study of the writers and musicians of the last century. As a hispanophile with an MA in European Languages and Global Cultures, she can draw upon her deep understanding of the function of language within the creative process and has thus developed her own technique for inspiring others to be creative in a similar way.She is an avid fan of alternative music and has an extensive record collection dominated by female musicians. She can still be found most weekends flicking through the vinyls and CD’s at her nearest music shop or dancing her fishnets off at a punk gig!
