Newcastle Writing Conference 2024
Sat 18 May 2024 to Sat 18 May 2024
Book now for a day of insight, advice and creativity for writers of all kinds. Through author panels, workshops, agent one-to-ones, and more, you’ll learn about the world of publishing, develop your craft and connect with fellow writers. Our headline speaker is Janice Hallett, author of bestselling crime novels including The Appeal.

The writing conference is an event for writers at all stages of their careers. It aims to demystify the world of publishing and supports you to connect with peers and industry experts. Across one day, the conference offers a programme of panels, breakout sessions and practical workshops. Writers choose their own bespoke journey throughout the day, whether you want a deep dive into the editing process or to dip your toes into flash-fiction and audio writing.

Breakout sessions include:

Planning and Structure: Writing Workshop with Kasim Ali
How to Market Yourself with Lucy Nichol
Meet the Agent with Rachel Conway
Staying Resilient as a Writer
Flash Fiction: Writing Workshop with Désirée Reynolds
