Horizons is a free toolkit designed to inspire and support the next generation of non-fiction women writers.
The Horizons toolkit includes writing resources, features, prompts and free online events, with contributions from publishing industry experts and leading non-fiction authors.
Our hope is that this toolkit will serve as a fountain of information and inspiration, as well as acting as a launchpad to support women to write non-fiction that sparks new thinking, illuminates hidden histories, ignites movements and reflects our shared experiences – perhaps contributing to the creation of books that go on to win the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction in the future.
From research skills and navigating archives to writing a compelling proposal and crafting an argument, the Horizons toolkit is packed full of tips and wise words for non-fiction writers.
Whether you’re looking to spin your specialist subject into a book with broad appeal or to explore your life story in a memoir, Horizons is here to help.
