Literature in the Tees Valley

Welcome to Lit Tees

This website has been developed by New Writing North as part of the Tees Valley Writers and Publishers Project, a development scheme which ran from 2005-2008. One of the aims of the project was to find new ways to profile and promote writers and publishers and all of the other great literary activity that takes place in the area and this site is the outcome.

Here you can find information on writers who live and work in the area, small publishers who publish books here, live literature events and readings, writing workshops and courses, book clubs and some general advice on where to look for support when you are starting to write.

You can also add your own information and links by sending us news items and listings of events. The more info you send, the more useful this site will be. If you are a writer or a publisher you can also apply to publish information about yourself on this site, just click through to the relevant sections.
