'Words Up' - Music Writing For People Who Mean Business

The University of Westminster’s music business network MusicTank has joined forces with former deputy editor of monthly fanzine Sleazenation, Lulu Le Vay, to develop a new innovative music journalism course.

Designed by Le Vay and featuring guest speakers such as Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Radio 1 DJ and Bestival promoter Rob da Bank the course will look at the entire journalistic process including music journalism.

Spanning eight weeks Words Up aims to cover everything from building up contacts to pitching stories and, according to MusicTank “seeks to nurture a new wave of journalism talent” equipping them with a “360-degree view” of music journalism.

Words Up also claims it will support a new breed of writer with the drive and talent to steer an anti-churnalism campaign.
