Mslexicon Women Writers Weekend, Leeds, 12-14 July 2019

With full details of the upcoming Writers Weekend:






A dynamic day of self development...

  • Looking for insights from the publishing industry?
  • Keen to hear directly from top agents and editors?
  • Want to celebrate your craft in a supportive atmosphere?
In response to popular demand, we've put together a package of daytime events for those who aren't able to come for the full Mslexicon weekend experience. So please join us at Devonshire Hall in Leeds for one of our specially curated daytime programmes on 13 or 14 July.

     

For just £89, your one-day ticket grants you access to talks, panel discussions and Q & A sessions led by top experts with a reputation for supporting women writers. If you're wondering how to hook an agent, apply for a grant or get started on the publishing ladder, Mslexicon is the place to find the answers.

What's on?

Saturday is dedicated to the publishing industry and to taking the next step in your writing career, with events on the kind of manuscripts agents and editors are looking for in fiction and non-fiction, and what you can do to improve your work and get it noticed.

Some of Saturday’s events:

Sunday is our Northern Powerhouse day, with special events offering priceless advice from funding experts and publishers dedicated to helping northern writers get their voices heard - topped off with a riotous 'In conversation...' event with bestselling northern author Sophie Hannah.
