Writing Bedfordshire: Literary Fiction
June-December 2023
2 hours per month
With DYCP funding, Rae Leaver Rahman plans to explore the feasibility of growing a critique group for writers in Bedfordshire.
This opportunity is open to writers writing in prose only. You should be writing literary fiction or narrative non-fiction. You should be based in Bedfordshire, and ideally have an interest in building networks here and/or writing about place.
Who is it for?
– Writers based in Bedfordshire who are writing Literary Fiction or Narrative Non-Fiction
-Writers with an interest in Bedfordshire as a place and building their practice in Bedfordshire

I have experience with prose, poetry, and playwriting and offer support to beginner and emerging artists in both their writing and developing their craft.

- DYCP: Developing CreativityAt the end of 2022, having had a successful year, I was set for an exciting 2023. Yet I still found that making time and space for my writing was hard. I had a wedding, new family commitments, a house move, a new job. I had all of the old commitments to ways of working that were not serving me as well. I needed to look at the structure I had built myself for success, and that was what led me to apply for Developing Your Creative Practice.
