There are diverse and exciting opportunities for skilled writers across the cultural industries - from stage, screen and radio, to literature, poetry and print. To be successful, professionals need to understand how best to appeal to a range of audiences using available media. This is while being able to align these needs to a professional or creative brief.

As a result, the UK government has highlighted a shortage in professionals with specialist writing skills for this growing number of platforms.
