Writers
We run workshops, conferences, residencies and networking throughout the year, as well as the creative development programme Room 204. We hold a range of writing workshops and short courses, as well as host writers from all over the globe.
Young People
Through our Spark Young Writers Programme, we run 24 monthly creative writing groups across the west midlands, run an annual Careers in Writing event, publish a quarterly online magazine, and hold a yearly Summer Writing Challenge.
Readers
Through partnerships with publishers, universities, galleries, libraries and many others, we nurture readers as much as writers.
Celebrating Words
Birmingham Literature Festival runs annually with a full programme, usually in October. This is a leading festival in the Midlands showcasing the very best writers, speakers, thinkers and artist from the UK and across the world.
