NCLA's programme of readings brings world-class, international writers to the North East. You can find further details by using the menu on the left or you can download an electronic version of the current brochure via the following link: Spring2013.pdf (Acrobat reader may be required; available as a free download from Adobe).

Tickets for our readings are available via the WebStore.

In this section of the site you can also access information about short courses in Creative Writing taught by leading names in their respective genres.  Held in the evenings on a weekly basis in six-week blocks, the short courses offer the opportunity for developing and for more advanced writers to concentrate on specialisms including memoir writing, film, poetry, writing for children and writing for radio.

Details of the annual Creative Writing Spring and Summer Schools can also be found here.
