Henderson Mullin has a long interest in how literature enables marginalised people to represent themselves, or helps people to live better together. In 1997, he joined Writers and Scholars Educational Trust, later becoming publisher of its award-winning magazine Index on Censorship, campaigning for writers under threat. In 2008 he founded Writing East Midlands with ACE investment. Since then he has helped instigate writing projects hearing the Roma, refugees, the Windrush generation, women recovering from domestic abuse, young and adult offenders, perpetrators and victims of hate speech, autistic people, and many other voices.

This role gives them the opportunity to support other writers, readers and the future of literature. The RSL connects writers in the Fellowship to one another, and to a wider readership.
