SUMMARY:Novel Writing for First Timers
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in writing a novel\, but don’t know where to start? Have you started a novel or two but fizzled out?

SUMMARY:Squad Wide Transitional Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few months\, we’ve held four conversations exploring each of the Arts Council’s new Investment Principles. These principles define both their strategy for the arts in England\, and the way they make decisions about who they fund. We’re using them to inform The Writing Squad’s plan for 2022/23\, and our application for the next round of funding. \nThe principles are: Ambition and Quality\, Dynamism\, Environmental Responsibility and Inclusivity and Relevance. \nOur conversations involved members of the board\, our core team and the Squad at large. We talked about how each principle relates to the Squad – we thought about what we do well\, what we could do better and came up with new ideas to shape the Squad’s future. \nStuff like: new commission opportunities\, new ways of doing feedback\, a new Squad origin story. It was all dead exciting\, to be honest. \nSince then\, we’ve been collating the thinking from these meetings and started to draw up our new plan. It’s go time! \nHERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN! \nWe’re now ready to put the Stuff What We Talked About at these meetings to the Squad At Large. We’re holding a sort of informal Zoom Squad Town Hall\, in which we’ll share the outcomes of these meetings and our plans going forward\, and you can tell us what you think about them. Simple as that. \nTLDR: A space to talk about what the Squad could be\, what you want the Squad to be\, how we talk about who we are and what we do. You don’t need to know anything about the Arts Council’s principles or funding\, but we will send you some light reading about our thoughts and plans before the meeting!

SUMMARY:Going Freelance\, In Company
DESCRIPTION:If you have an idea you want to realise and it involves pulling together a bunch of people and resources\, this conversation and Q+A is for you. \nSteve D will talk to three freelance Squad writers who have set up companies either to deliver specific projects or as a vehicle for their work\, asking questions like … Do you really need to set up a company or can you just do the thing? Where did you go to for advice? What do all these terms mean; CIC\, Sole Trader\, Limited by Guarantee? What were the costs? Who is in control and who makes the decisions? How do you manage people? What didn’t you know you wished you had? Are the legal responsibilities onerous? What’s all that stuff about tax? \nYou’ll get the chance to ask your questions too.
