Arts journalism is many writers’ first foray into publication. However, in 2024, there are increasingly fewer avenues to access exciting, thorough and diverse writing about music, film, theatre, food and more.
How can we keep this vast form of writing alive with integrity and bold ideas? How can we ensure that arts writing is accessible, rather than exclusive? Tune in to hear emerging and established arts writers share their perspectives and experiences.
10.00am – 11.00am
Keynote: Writing People
The devil is in the details when it comes to crafting vivid and accurate portraits of artists, politicians, writers, and other cultural figures. Hear from award-winning writer, Daniel Browning, on what it means to artfully render the essence of a person.
11.15am – 12.15pm
Panel: On Art
Arts writing is vital, precarious literary work. Often the best way to start out as a writer – to have your writing published, work with editors, meet likeminded people and let’s face it, make a bit of a cash. But it can be hard to know what pocket to start out in and how to sustain . Hear from these eclectic arts writers, who have traversed the realms of music, art, performance and film, as well as art gallery and catalogue writing.
12.30pm – 2.00pm
Niche Journalism
Quality arts journalism often arises from a writer's passion for a unique subject, and examining it with precision and specificity. From interview technique, through to the opening article line, the former Hot Metal, Kerrang! and Metal Hammer magazine editor will discuss and illuminate key aspects of the craft for writers working across topics and forms.
