Join the Dialect Collective

Membership

Are you looking to join a community of like-minded writers for encouragement, support and feedback?

Joining the Dialect community through our new membership scheme is a great way for you to connect with other rural writers, gain confidence and carve out regular space and development time for getting your words into the world.

HOW DOES DIALECT MEMBERSHIP WORK?

Joining us in the Meadow means…

  • Procrastination busting! Access to up to three weekly online writing hours

  • Building your network: Regular online social events and free members workshops

  • Finding community: Access to our online chat group for writers, full of discussion and opportunities

  • Savings and opportunities: Early bird and discounted rates for Dialect and partner courses

Our online writing sessions take place every:

  • Monday 10am - 11am

  • Wednesday 7pm - 8pm

  • Saturday 8-9am

All sessions are optional, for members to use whenever they need them.

HOW MUCH DOES MEMBERSHIP COST?

Well - that depends! Membership is offered on a sliding payment scale:

  1. £10/month for writers on a smaller income

  2. £20/month regular membership

  3. £30/month Pay it Forward - supporting Dialect’s work to provide affordable access to the arts for everyone

And don’t forget - Meadow Membership is free/donations only for caregivers and any rural or edgeland writer who can’t afford to make regular payments at the moment (if this is you, you’re definitely not alone! Just email us on dialectwriters@gmail.com and we’ll get you all set up).
