Duncan Lyon: Self-publishing, Write to Work and more

Having recently joined the Writing On The Wall team as Project Assistant Lauren Buxton had the pleasure earlier this week to interview Duncan Lyon who is a Liverpool based self-published writer. She asked Duncan about his participation on the 12 week course which gives the opportunity for writers to explore the different avenues in which writing can lead to paid work, through various fields such as creative writing, social media, blogging, copywriting & marketing.

Lauren Buxton: Finding your tribe

Lauren Buxton was a previous participant on Write to Work and is now the newly appointed Project & Social Media Assistant at Writing on the Wall.

Ever since I was young I always loved writing. There is something magical about spilling my thoughts onto a page and witnessing a story beginning to take shape. It never occurred to me that I could turn this from a hobby until by chance I discovered the Write to Work course.

I'm on the 82 bus, off to Toxteth Library and one of my favourite jobs delivering sessions with WoW on the 'Write to Work' course. 

Ngunan Adamu: "Write to Work...An insightful and invigorating experience"

Read about Ngunan Adamu's time as a tutor on the course. Ngunan is a Presenter and Producer on BBC Radio Merseyside. Follow her on Twitter: @NgunanAdamuBBC.

Delivering a session as part of Write to Work has been an insightful and invigorating experience, the participants/learners involved were engaging and knowledgeable but needed that extra push to boost their confidence. I taught Writing for radio, using radio skills to market your CV and be your own PR machine and proving that sometimes a change of vocabulary can really boost your CV and experience.

In days of fake news, no news, or merely inconsequential celebrity news, it seems one way to hear of the vital activities of our world is to go back to the old traditions- those of the wandering storytellers.
