Are you an author / writer from an underrepresented ethnic background?

Today at She Inspired Her we are sharing an opportunity for writers from underrepresented ethnic backgrounds who do not already have agency representation! Here is your chance to apply for some great support!

Are you based in the UK? 

Do you have a story to tell but think voices like yours aren’t heard…?

Have you been writing for years but can’t get a foot in the door…?

If you know there’s an audience for your words but you don’t know what the next step is, then The HarperCollins Author Academy may be the right place for you.

The HarperCollins Author Academy is a brand-new initiative offering free training

to support writers from underrepresented Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. Launched by HarperCollins UK and headed by Rose Sandy, Affiliate Publisher for Harper Inspire, it aims to provide authors from underrepresented groups with the knowledge and skills to succeed.

The Academy offers three courses, covering three different genres: Fiction, Non-fiction, and Writing for Children.

Beginning the week of January 18, 2021, the courses will run remotely for 6 weeks, with weekly live-streamed tutorials and access to other course materials. Additional on-demand masterclasses cover the fundamentals of publishing as a business, and you’ll be supported by a mentor throughout.
