There are some great jobs and opportunities around for writers of all kinds right now, from poets-in-residence in the north east to East Midlands mentoring, and some academic post for creative thinking, scriptwriting and poetics. So get your application forms in before the hols....
Deadlines soon for these opportunities:

not for the likes of me : APS & Farnham Maltings are looking to commission and present a tour of an extant, or possibly new, piece of theatre across the county that has ambitions to reach people who don’t normally engage with the arts. 22 July. http://www.writewords.org.uk/jobs/view_opp.asp?oppid=5810
 
Two opportunities for lecturers in creative writing- one scriptwriting, one critical/poetry- at Birkbeck, University of London, 22 July:
 
The Department of English and Humanities wishes to appoint a full-time Lecturer in Creative and Critical Writing, to teach modules in Poetry at all levels, to integrate the successful experimental work of the Birkbeck Poetics Centre into existing provision, and to develop synergies with critical thinking in other areas of the Department and the School of Arts. Possible areas of interest would be environmental and ecological thought; science; art writing.

An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Department of English and Humanities for a Lecturer in Creative Writing in the area of Scriptwriting (Playwriting and Screenwriting), to replace Professor Colin Teevan who is reducing his academic work in order to fulfil other professional commitments.

I love it that all these jobs and opps are listed here in one place. It makes it much easier to find places to send work (and it was WW Jobs and Opps that got me some brilliant work with an overseas publisher) - so a big thank you for this :)

Ah, this is but a small selection....! I just thought it might be good to draw peoples attention to ones that look particularly interesting/might need some thought in case people were going away.... Going to make it a regular feature.
