The festival includes interviews with well-known, national and international writers and experts, experiential workshops, readings and talks. Come and enjoy drama, crime writing, short stories, story-telling, poetry, memoir writing, writing graphic novels and much, much more.

The festival Workshops explore getting started in writing, approaching publishers, marketing your book, writing poetry, fiction and memoir, writing for the stage, TV and radio, and general journalism. The programme includes a stimulating mix of talks, readings, interviews and workshops.
