NWP (UK) is the National Writing Project co-operative, founded in 2009 by directors, Jeni Smith (research) and Simon Wrigley (outreach). It is a network of teachers' writing groups, run by teachers for teachers. It is a grass-roots, not-for-profit, teacher-owned research project that aims to explore writing and find out further answers to the question, 'What happens when teachers gather together to write and share their writing?'
