Writer’s Development Day: For Underrepresented Writers
Are you an underrepresented writer looking to develop your craft?
We're delighted to be partnering with Creative Future to offer this writer's development day, designed to help you hone your craft, get inspired and build your community. We'll hear from three writers over the course of the morning who will be delving into their own process and sharing invaluable insight into writing fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry. In the afternoon you'll have the chance to hear from a range of writing organisations who are there to support you on your writing journey. You'll find out what they can offer you and how you can get involved. To finish the day we will be interviewing a panel of agents and editors who will be discussing the fundamentals of the submission process, as well as the different routes available to publication. The day will be packed full of practical and essential advice to move your writing forward.
