Who we work with…

Here  is a list of organisations and venues with whom we have set up collaborations and working partnerships, since our establishment in 2015.

Appropriately, given that we are the education project of The Young Walter Scott Prize, we made our first steps at Abbotsford House, the family home of Sir Walter Scott, and the source and repository of his genius. Shortly after, Blickling Hall in Norfolk became our first English venue.

Our process of developing creative partnerships between young adult writers, their schools, professional writers and heritage venues has been steadily attracting support. New working partnerships, collaborations, workshops and events are announced on our blog and on our facebook page
