The Future Project introduces the Young Writers' Network Creative Classes. So:

  • Do you think you can write?
  • Do you want to be a good writer?
  • Are you writing things at the moment for which you need direction and polishing? 
  • Do you want to find out how to get your material published? 
  • Do you want to know how and where to make an income from writing? 
  • Do you want to intern with the hottest media and publishing houses in the country?
