Arts journalism is many writers’ first foray into publication. However, in 2024, there are increasingly fewer avenues to access exciting, thorough, and diverse writing about music, film, theatre, food, and more.
Arts writing is often the best way to start out as a writer – to have your writing published, work with editors, meet likeminded people and make a bit of a cash. But it can be hard to know what pocket to start out in and how to sustain.
Hear how these multi-disciplinarians harness daily habits and routines that flow into their artistic practice. Gain a fresh mindset, and uncover fun, practical techniques to ignite your own creative process.
From interview technique, through to the opening article line, learn about key aspects of the craft for writers working across topics and forms.
