Project management and consultancy
Advising organisations and institutions on suitable projects
and training, and managing projects. trAce has worked with
many clients and partners since 1996.
How does it work?
We work with libraries, schools, arts organisations and
commercial companies, providing training and support as
well as helping them establish suitable net-based writing
projects. Very often, a day's consultancy is all that's
required to explore the possibilities the web has to offer
writers. We can support organisations as they set up and
manage their own schemes, or provide a fully-customised
project management service.
We can also help with grant applications.
trAce has made successful applications to, amongst others,
the Arts for Everyone Fund administered by the Arts Council
of England; the Year of the Artist; the European Culture
2000 scheme, the AHRB, NESTA, and regional agencies like
East Midlands Arts.
And we don't just work with writers.
Our skills as online community hosts are increasingly valuable
to companies wishing to establish an interactive web presence.
We can advise on ways to make your website a place that
users want to revisit on a regular basis.
We also design, build and host websites
and message boards for individuals and organisations.
To discuss ways in which net-based
writing projects, training and community might bring added
value to your existing activities, please contact Sue Thomas
