About this Event
Join The Writers Workshop at Channing Hall, Sheffield, on February 8th for Writers Day 2025, supported by New Writing North and Hachette.
A limited number of early-bird tickets are available now, for a limited time only.

Suited to emerging and developing writers, the Writers Day will include sessions that explore the writing journey from creation through publication, as well as opportunities to pitch to publishers and meet your new BWFs (best writer friends)!

A Book's Journey: Editors from Hachette (and imprint Headline), Lucy Twist and Frankie Edwards, share insights into the publishing journey.
Find Your Story: What is the unique story that only you can tell? Whether it’s in poetry or prose, explore the ‘what’ of your desire to write.
Find Your Voice: What is voice and how do we recognise and develop our distinctive style?
Find Your Protagonist: Whether you are writing nonfiction in which you’re the protagonist or writing fiction with an invented one, find out what makes a central character compelling.
Find Your Readers: A look at indie publishing options, and book marketing essentials.
Find Your Writing Mojo: Tips from writing coaches to help you sustain a writing practice, even when you’re feeling stuck, dejected or uncertain.
