Information

The selection panel will prioritise applicants who are freelance, or who work for smaller organisations.

We understand that many literature professionals have portfolio careers and will also take into account other factors, including whether applicants have previously worked freelance or for smaller organisations with fewer CPD resources and whether they are on temporary or permanent contracts.

We are aware that applicants who face structural barriers – including those relating to racism, ableism, caring responsibilities and class – are likely to have had fewer opportunities for career development and progression and will ensure our process is sensitive to this reality.

I understand that To Be Continued is a fully remote programme and will be delivered online.*
