It was the first conference of its kind in the East Midlands in almost half a decade and saw leading authors, publishers and agents meet and network with emerging, mid career and established writers about how to build a successful writing career.
Highlights of the conference were our keynote speakers – celebrated novelists Matt Haig and Jon McGregor – our Poet in Residence is Rob Gee (with his wonderful found poem), and the inspiring and informative programme of panel events and talks ranging from Finding and Securing Funding to Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Ask an Agent to Writing for YA and Children – Rights and Responsibilities.
