Platform: Black and Asian Writers' Conference

20th March 2021 10:00am to 5:00pm

A one-day conference for Black & Asian writers

How do you write through a pandemic? How do you find the time and motivation to keep going? What opportunities exist outside the capital to develop your practice?

Come along to our Zoom conference which aims to support and encourage early-career writers by offering advice and inspiration. Hear from first-time writers on their experiences of completing their manuscript and getting published, and from industry experts on the role they play in the publication process.

Morning keynote: Nikesh Shukla

Featuring debut novelists Sairish Hussain, Caleb Azumah Nelson and Hafsa Zayyan alongside new and emerging voices.

We will also be joined by a host of changemakers who are committed to amplifying Black and Asian voices.

Organised and programmed by Farhana Shaikh with input from the Middle Way Mentoring mentees.
