Write and thrive in 2025!

Exciting news! We’ve now confirmed our 2025 Writers Day for Saturday February 8th. We’ll have a jam-packed programme of workshops, panels and presentations delivered in partnership with Hachette UK and New Writing North to help you get your 2025 writing journey off to a great start. There’ll be something for everyone from new writers to those who are seeking representation and publishing outlets. With sessions on:

  • Finding your voice

    Finding your readers and creating your author brand

  • The writer’s journey with New Writing North and authors, Sarah Brooks and Karen Powell

  • The publishing journey with Frankie Edwards (editorial director at Headline) and Lucy Twist (commissioning editor at Hachette Children’s Group)

  • Pitching opportunities with Hachette UK

  • Editing and polishing your manuscript

  • Publishing routes from mainstream publishers to indie presses and audiobooks

    Full programme and venue to be confirmed but register your interest now and we’ll let you know as soon as early bird tickets become available.
