I didn’t and I still came away with interest from 8 agents. So much can happen in the 1-on-1s, in the coffee queue, at the bar … the quickening of fate can happen in the most unlikely places. As for the six chosen for the Best Opening Chapter, I’m so looking forward to reading your work. And for one of you (or more), hold on tight, the roller coaster is coming to get you…" Tor Udall, Author.  An extract from her guest blog on her journey to date: Patience, Perseverance & Passion!     The best weekend of your writing career With more than 300+ writers, agents, publishers all staying on the beautiful grounds of York University and enjoying all the same meals and social occasions throughout the weekend, the festival is a brilliant opportunity to meet other writers, make important industry contacts and revel in non-stop conversations on everyone's favourite topic - writing!         Facebook Twitter Website Email YouTube   Copyright © 2016 The Writers' Workshop, All rights reserved.             Our mailing address is: The Writers' Workshop The Studio, Sheep Street Charlbury Oxford, OX7 3RR United Kingdom Add us to your address book
