The Live Writing team
Published authors, prize-winning poets, playwrights, graduates from creative writing programmes, editors with years of experience, creative writing tutors: the Live Writing team is a group of highly competent, experienced and skilled writers, poets and editors.

Our aim is to establish exactly what it is that you need and then to ensure as close as possible a match between editor or writer and client.
