How the Registry Works
By joining the registry, you will have the opportunity to run workshops with and for us. To propose an event or respond to our call-outs, there will be an online form that asks you to outline the event.
We will review your description before accepting the proposal, and then we will pitch it to our membership. We will require a minimum of 15 expressions of interest to proceed.
If a call-out elicits several responses, The Writers Workshop will assess them and choose the one that seems to best fit our mission, our knowledge of our membership community, and programme needs.
Please note:
To deliver an in-person workshop, facilitators will be required to have public liability insurance in place.
Everyone joining the registry acknowledges that they would be engaged on a freelance basis and, as such, responsible for paying tax on any income earned.
Facilitator Fee
Most of our guest workshops are online. Facilitators receive 100% of the net ticket revenue from the first 10 tickets sold (c.£150). Additional ticket income is split between the Writers Workshop and the facilitator 70/30%.
The fee for an in-person workshop will be agreed on a case-by-case basis.
Room Hire
By joining our register, you will access special discounts on room hire for your own events, starting from £15 per hour.
Our room holds a maximum of 12 people and is equipped with refreshments and stationery.
