The Writer In Residence role for Newcastle Hospitals Charity and New Writing North ran from September 2023 to April 2024. From the outset we looked to design a creative writing programme to fit staff’s interests and needs. The result comprised: regular writing sessions; short courses on poetry, short form and fantasy fiction; writer-on-call one-to-ones; pen portraits; guest writer sessions. And call-outs for staff’s own stories, thoughts and writings, whether fact or fiction, formed or sketchy.
The latest stage of this was to create a printed anthology, named After the Applause.
