New Writing North Northern Writers' Awards

Having submitted to the Penguin Random House UK mentoring programme today with my current WIP, I thought I would share details of the New Writing North Northern Writers' Awards FREE Writers Roadshows which are coming up.  I have already booked for the Leeds one, so I thought I would share the information with my followers so that you can book too:

Northern Writers' Awards
Writers roadshows across the North of England
It’s that time of year again: the Northern Writers’ Awards opens for entry on Wednesday 23 November, and to spread the word we’re travelling around the North, meeting writers and talking to them about the awards and the many other opportunities available to develop their careers.

This year our Northern Writers’ Awards roadshows are visiting Sheffield, Leeds, Preston and Middlesbrough. Each roadshow is aimed at writing in a particular genre and will feature experienced writers, editors and publishers/broadcasters.

The roadshows are free to attend and will equip you with practical knowledge for developing your writing career, whether or not you are planning to enter this year’s Northern Writers’ Awards.
These events are also an excellent place to meet and network with fellow writers. The feedback from our roadshows is always overwhelmingly positive and places tend to book up quickly.

Reserve your place now via the links below.

We’ll also be at the National Creative Writing Graduate Fair on Friday 4 November, taking part in a panel about the future of publishing and hosting a Northern Writers’ Awards stall. Come and see us!

The Northern Writers' Awards 2017 open for entry on 23 November 2016 until 2 February 2017. The awards identify writing talent and support writers to complete work-in-progress towards publication or broadcast. They are open to writers at all stages of their careers, based in the North of England, and awards can include mentoring, development opportunities and cash awards.
