Our Vision
The Writers’ Block is a strategic cultural organisation with a mission to support writers in Cornwall at every stage of their journey.
We believe in the power of the written and spoken word to transform lives. It is everyone’s right to express themselves through creativity and imagination. Great ideas can and do come from anyone and anywhere.
Our mission is to support writers in Cornwall at every stage of their journey. We enable emerging writers, children & young people and the Cornish community to value their voice, tell their stories and be widely heard.
The Writers’ Block is a space of welcome, where shared stories empower people, particularly those whose voices and culture have not been valued. By increasing enjoyment, skills and confidence in the written and spoken word, we strengthen our Cornish community and build the future we need. We support developing and established writers and performers whose impact will be felt across Cornwall and beyond.
