Are you writing but could do with some inspiration to help you along? Are you looking for writing advice to help hone your craft? Do you want to find out more about the publishing process - from securing literary representation to signing a book deal?  We're partnering once more with the Open University, this time over two evenings in June for How To Get Published, an online incarnation of our successful pre-pandemic conference format.
