Events OUTSIDE of London/Home Counties

by Kate Fawdry
14th November 2016

Does anyone know of any 'Meet the Agents' type of events BEYOND the M25 corale, and preferably north of Derby? As someone one an exceedingly limited income travelling to London is not an option (added to petrol costs are exorbitant parking/food/paying to travel inside 'the zone' fees). On top of which the events advertised on here cost more to attend than I have to live on for a week! Any sensible suggestions received with thanks, KF~

Hi Kate,

We've held an extremely successful agent event with York Literature Festival for the past two years, and we're in the midst of organising something for 2017 as well so watch this space!

Coming from Cumbria, I too have searched for events outside London, but can't find anything apart from even further south. I think it is because all these events can be filled easily by Londoners so there is no need to offer anything to us poor northerners.
