NAWE Conference 2016

Stratford Manor, Stratford-upon-Avon, 11-13 November

Our Conference this year was held in Stratford-upon-Avon during the Shakespeare 400 celebrations. 

Fittingly, there was an exclusive screening of excerpts from the very latest film of Macbeth, with director, Kit Monkman, in conversation with Judith Buchanan, one of the world’s leading authorities in Shakespeare on film. Evening guest readings were given by poet Patience Agbabi and novelist Kit de Waal.

Issue No. 70 of Writing in Education was launched at the event, featuring a number of articles related to conference proceedings. Further related articles will be published in Issue No. 71 (Spring 2017). Submissions to that edition are open until 31 January 2017.

Nicola Soloman, General Secretary of the Society of Authors, who gave a presentation on 'How to make a living', has generously made her slides available here below.
