We're delighted to highlight some of the speakers featuring at this year's National Writers Conference. Our Keynote Interview is with novelist and memoirist, Kit de Waal, a writer who is has also campaigned for working class and older writers to be heard. Literary agents Salma Begum (Greyhound Literary) and Joe Sedgwick (Seventh Agency) feature on our Working with Agents panel, sharing how writers can best present themselves and their work, and what agents are looking for.
Award-winning writer Malachi McIntosh joins our Keeping Your Writing Going panel discussing how to pursue your creative ambitions – in a world full of other wonderful writers – while sustaining the love of simply writing, and the hope for readers and audiences.
Prize-winning author and Assistant Professor in Creative Writing at the University of Birmingham Winnie M Li joins two editors on our Editing Your Writing panel, and historical novelist Lindsey Davis will feature on a panel discussing how writers can best promote themselves and their writing - what works, what doesn’t and how to use time and money wisely. We are pleased to confirm that British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters will be present during all sessions at the conference. “The opportunity to connect with fellow delegates, hearing their stories, insights, and learning about the work they've completed was both inspiring and encouraging. I also really valued the speakers and panel discussions, which offered a window into aspects of the writing world I hadn't fully understood before. It was both eye-opening and motivating." - Previous NWC Attendee
