For writers and artists at every juncture of their journey; enrich your craft, gain new perspective on the industry, and network with publishing professionals. Leave the weekend conference with new ideas, fresh motivation, and a network to accompany you along the writer’s path.

DAY 1: BEGINNING
Saturday 13 September
So you’ve newly committed to the writers’ life and need some pointers on where to start. Or perhaps you’ve been at this for a while now but need some beginner-mind inspiration. Either way, life is for (re)learning. Strap in for a series of sessions devoted to the fundamentals: releasing first-time works, facing knock-backs, experimenting with structure and form, and establishing a voice that could only be your own.

Day 2: ENDURING
Sunday 14 September
With the essentials now under your belt, spend Day 2 looking to the years ahead. Learn what it takes to confront the harder topics, to be brave and self-publish, and to explore the mental maze of balancing creative pursuits. Wrap up the weekend by considering prophecies for the future of literature as we know it.

Purchase a Early-bird Pass to this two-day event, as well as a limited add-on Pitch session, to reserve an online pitching slot with an industry publisher/editor for Saturday 21st September. See more details about this event on our FAQs page.
