Work experience ideas for an english degree

I'm currently studying in year 12 and at the end of the academic year it's compulsory for all students to find a week of work experience. I want to do something relevant to the degree I want (English literature), any ideas for English related work experience for a 17 year old? My local library, bookshop, magazine and newspapers all said they cant do it bc of covid but I did initially want something to do with journalism :frown:

Hi there.

Not sure if this may help but maybe doing work experience in a school where you could do activities such as supporting lessons and doing guided reading with pupils? :smile:

Are there any charities or organisations near you that offer adult or child literacy classes/volunteering?
