A brilliant opportunity for under-represented writers to attend the Creative Thursday writing day at the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival
Applications are now open for the Jane Gregory Bursaries, which offer three under-represented writers a unique opportunity to attend the Creative Thursday writing day at the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival 2025.
Creative Thursday, an immersive and inspiring day of workshops and talks led by industry experts and bestselling crime writers including Vaseem Khan, Mick Herron, Will Dean and Laura Shepherd Robinson, takes place on 17 July 2025, the opening day of the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate.
The Jane Gregory Bursaries were created to support the next generation of crime writers, offering recipients the opportunity to access the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival. One of the bursaries incorporates a Weekend Break Package with accommodation and tickets to all Festival main stage events, whilst the Festival’s Creative Thursday Workshops are offered in all three bursaries, along with travel contributions.
Applications from under-represented writers, who may lack opportunities due to disabilities, identity, health or social circumstances, are welcomed here.
Applications close on Friday 18 April.
