How can you make a living as a writer in Wales in 2025? Full-time children’s writer and SoA Cymru committee member Helen Docherty chairs this discussion with the writer, coach, workshop leader, and so much more, Julia Forster and the writer and editor Kathryn Tann.
It has been a time of change in Welsh literature funding, especially around magazine publishing. But Kathryn Tann and Robert Harries (editor and designer) have just set up a new magazine, Folding Rock, having received funding from the Books Council of Wales. [EB1] Julia Forster supplements her writing by working as a tutor, a writing coach, PR consultant, and running a writing retreat called the Writers’ Cabin through her outfit, Write Within. Diversification has been the way to ensure she can still afford to write.
Join us as we find out more about the opportunities available for funding in Wales, and ask Kathryn and Julia to share insights from their experience.
