We know our technology, people, content and learning model are special and our partners do too.
Since 2011, we’ve worked in partnership with some fantastic organisations whose specialist knowledge brings our one-of-a-kind learning to life:
Granta
As Education Partner to Granta, we design and deliver world-class writing courses to nurture new voices and writing talent in fiction, memoir, nature-writing and long-form journalism. Each advanced-level workshop draws on the great archive of world-class writing published in the pages of Granta over the past forty years.
John Yorke Story
With JYS, we offer accessible, industry-focused CPD training and consultancy for creative professionals at any stage of their career, from writers and development execs, to video-games producers, production accountants and showrunners. The learning is led by BAFTA-winning John Yorke, author of the bestselling book on story structure Into the Woods and a world-leading narrative guru.
Cornerstones Literary Consultancy
Working with top trans-Atlantic literary consultancy Cornerstones, we teach professional-level editing skills based on their bestselling book On Editing: How to Edit Your Novel the Professional Way.
New Writing North
We are proud to partner with writing development agency New Writing North, who lead the development of creative writing and reading in the North of England. Together, we’re looking to identify talent and create fantastic career-changing opportunities for people from across society, with discounted bursaries available to students based in the North of Tyne.
‘Working with PWA allowed New Writing North to explore offering online learning as part of our repertoire of professional development. Offering training this way was new to us, and without a great deal of staff capacity to set up and deliver this area of work, working with PWA enabled us to set up and run high-quality branded courses, which were delivered in a top-quality learning environment. We have been delighted with the feedback from participants, and working this way allowed us to widen our offer to writers and to complement the wider skills-focused work of NWN.’
– Claire Malcolm, NWN CEO
Jericho Writers
As Education Partners to Jericho Writers, we power the Ultimate Novel Writing Course, giving authors the tools, motivation and support to complete a publishable draft of their novel in just twelve months.
Faber Academy
We conceived, set up and ran online courses in partnership with Faber Academy for eleven years, launching their very first online offers for fiction writers at all stages of development – from short courses in key skills through advanced novel-writing courses.
‘[The PWA team] have a perfect balance of experience and innovation mindset, with great dollops of empathy for students and passion for the subject at hand. They’ve listened to me and challenged me; we’ve put together a superb suite of courses that hit my customer base dead on.’
– Ian Ellard, former Head of Faber Academy
