If in the ’90s, there were just a handful of studies dedicated to writing, nowadays, there are thousands of institutions offering writing courses.
Varying in content and style, the names reflect the spectrum of possibilities; Creative Writing, Media Writing, Imaginative Writing, Professional Writing, Dramatic Writing, Personal Development Writing, or just Writing.
Any writing courses are excellent at allowing students to experiment and take risks within a supportive environment.
Yet, no writing degree guarantees a job, let alone the promise of turning you into a ‘best-selling’ author.
Thankfully for UK writing students, there’s LARA Media Group, a London-based media agency that works exclusively with writing course students.
The company launched the “Jobs For Students” London campaign in 2020, at the peak of COVID19, aiming to provide students with a solid income stream in their dedicated field of discipline.
This month, September 2022, in collaboration with the University of Manchester, LARA Media Group expands the “Jobs For Students” campaign to the city.
The campaign will offer jobs to undergraduate, master’s and postgraduate students taking courses in English literature, Creative Writing, Playwriting, and Screenwriting.
The company offers applicants three months of paid placement (starting at £1500pcm), 1:1 training, full access to its proprietary AI-writing platform, and the possibility of working from the comfort of their own homes, at their pace and convenience.
At the end of the three months, creative students who showcase results and wish to continue working for the company will be offered full-time positions and all related perks.
For creative students wishing to explore the job market further, LARA Media Group will grant them access to the company’s list of affiliated companies – e-commerce platforms, online marketplaces, newspapers, digital publications and magazines.
