About this Event
Welcome To The 12th Annual London Screenwriters Festival 2026.
Join hundreds of screenwriters, filmmakers, producers, and industry professionals at the London Screenwriters’ Festival, the UK’s leading event for screenwriting talent.
Over three packed days, you'll take part in a dynamic program of workshops, talks, and networking opportunities designed to help you grow as a writer and move your projects forward.
Whether you're just starting out or already working in the industry, LSF26 will give you the tools, knowledge, and connections to take your next big step. You’ll learn directly from over 100 top speakers, including screenwriters, producers, agents, and commissioners, across expert-led sessions.
Topics range from story structure and character development to pitching, securing representation, and navigating the Film and TV industry. Plus, you’ll get the chance to pitch your ideas directly to industry professionals in our one-on-one PitchFest sessions.
Many past delegates have landed agents, commissions, options, and long-term creative partnerships through the festival. It's a proven launchpad for screenwriters serious about their careers.
You’ll also become part of a supportive, creative community, one that continues long after the festival weekend. The connections made here often lead to collaborations, encouragement, and new opportunities.
Whether you’re writing for TV, film, online, or stage, or just looking for inspiration to get started, The London Screenwriters’ Festival is where your screenwriting journey accelerates.
‘It’s a life changer’
Leila Kiany // Screenwriter
‘I came away with the brain packed with new inspiration, a million ideas and fresh enthusiasm. Thanks, LSF, see you next year!’
Alan Cross // Screenwriter
‘Although the lectures, workshops, PitchFest and all the ‘official’ activities were great, to me it’s the community what makes the festival. Being a shy first attendant, I wasn’t expecting to meet so many amazing people. I know some of them will be in my life from now on. You can’t put a price on that.’
Calvo Ramos // Screenwriter
‘The community, the people, the location, the seminars. I love all of it. LSF feels like coming home to family.’
Paul Day // Screenwriter
