What
does a ticket get me?
Booking a
ticket, as always, gets you two ten minute 1-to-1 sessions with
agents and authors, access to workshops of your choice, a (rather
fancy) gala dinner and eligibility for our Friday
Night LIVE competition (take a look at those success stories
on our
blog here!).
It’s a ticket that’ll bring you together with more top
publishers, literary agents and editors than
you’ll possibly find in one place again. Join us at the University
of York to meet and mingle with all the major agents and publishers
who’ll be there looking for the next big thing. You’ll also be
meeting bestselling authors and hearing their own invaluable
insights.
We’ve yet to run a festival without at least several
delegates landing an agent or publishing deal, and you could be
next!

Tracy Rees: Delegate to Speaker by way of a Richard
& Judy Bestseller.
"In 2013, I attended the Festival of Writing in York...
I left with leads and contacts I could never have found otherwise
and with strong encouragement from the agent ringing in my
ears."

Festival of Writing success story Joanna Cannon:
" What I didn’t realise, was within 48hrs of leaving York and
heading back down the M1, I would have seven offers of agent
representation. Seven amazing, incredibly skilled people who wanted
to help me with my book."
