Hello, thank you for visiting.

I run the Writing Squad for emerging writers in Yorkshire, and am Director of the National Association for Literature Development.

I produce, currently I’m the Associate Producer for Leeds Canvas and an Associate Producer for imove, both part of the cultural programme to celebrate the 2012 Olympics.

I write, mainly short stories, and work as an editor and critical friend.

I work as a consultant with cultural organisations on policy & planning, personal & organisational development and project management. 

I hope you can find the information you need here, if not, please contact me.

Steve Dearden
