A few places are still left for…

A Writer Networking Afternoon, Coventry

Saturday 11th June, 2011, 2pm to 4pm, The George Eliot Building, Coventry University, Coventry

Writing West Midlands is promoting a gathering for emerging and established writers, targeted at those who work in and around Coventry and Warwickshire but open to any writer in the West Midlands region. This Writer Networking Meeting will be an opportunity for writers to share their experiences. We have run several similar such events over the years in Birmingham, Warwick, Newcastle under Lyme and Worcester, and writers have found them a very useful way of developing their contacts.

In addition to meeting each other (we expect around 25 writers to be present) there will be short presentations by Nick Walker of Talking Birds on his radio production work (including with BBC Radio 4), Sara Beadle of the Birmingham Book Festival on how festivals work with writers, Judith Allnatt on becoming a published novelist (now working on her third novel) and Jenny Stephens wearing her Writers’ Guild of Great Britain and theatre producer hats (with Hoopla Productions, who have a show on at The Belgrade Theatre).

Our thanks to Alyson Morris and Coventry University for supporting this event.

Cost: Free

Deadline for booking: if possible by Tuesday 7th June 2011
