During the coming year (2012) we will be celebrating 10 years of the Writing PAD Network and 5 years of the Journal of Writing in Creative Practice (JWCP). We will be publishing one volume of JWCP (three issues) in which we would like reviews from anyone in the network who has used the approaches and models that are on our website, or has benefited from i.e. developed new writing programmes or models from workshops we have held in your institution, conferences you may have attended, or articles you may have read in JWCP. 

This is your network and we are keen to represent as many institutions as possible in this celebratory volume. Tell us what you have been doing and what has been working!

BTW - we are also looking for book reviews relating to writing in art and design for the same deadlines.
