welcome all

About Make it Write

Make it write is a social enterprise and collective of artists aiming to improve opportunities for new writing and fringe performance in liverpool and the north west.

As well as engaging with our audience online, we also host workshops in directing, playwriting and acting. We use these workshops to facilitate collaboration and discovery for participants, to then create full productions and performances in the North West.

Make It Write enjoy collaborating with other theatre groups, artists, online creatives and film producers. 

We support and build our members’ confidence with regular challenges, interview preparation and self-marketing.

 

Our Mission

We use our partnerships to further our mission of making performance and writing opportunities accessible to all, especially those who are under-represented in the creative community. 

We currently meet most Thursdays from 19.00 till 21.00 via Zoom. At these meetings we:

  • DISCUSS WHAT WE ARE PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
  • BRING IN SPEAKERS TO PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO OPPORTUNITIES
  • DO PEER REVIEWS OF WRITTEN WORK IN PROGRESS READ BY ACTORS
  • SOCIALISE AND COLLABORATE.

Our Community

We manage 4 Facebook Groups supporting creatives

WE HAVE OVER 1500 USERS ENGAGED WITH OUR FACEBOOK GROUPS THAT BENEFIT FROM OUR SERVICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.
