A Celebration of Writers at the University of Bristol
Writers’ Day:
A full-day writers’ conference. Best-selling authors, signings, talks, workshops, manuscript help, and mind-blowing speakers.
Heron Books will be there with books to sell from many of our favourite local authors.
Writers from all backgrounds will come together: whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, it’s an opportunity to enjoy a day devoted to your craft and to celebrate the power of prose and poetry.
You’ll hear from best-selling and emerging authors, take part in workshops to increase your skill and stimulate your imagination, hear speakers talk about the latest issues and ideas in writing, and listen to those in the know discuss what they think about the future for publishing new work. There will also be a chance to be the first to hear the newest writing coming from our programmes, to have feedback on your own writing given by our successful team of instructors and to attend the anthology launch from the Bristol Short Story Prize.
Participants include:
Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things
Noreen Masud, author of A Flat Place
Ash Bond, author of Peregrine Quinn and the Cosmic Realm
Jessica Moor, author of Keeper, discussing her latest novel Hold Back the Night
Carrie Etter, reading from her latest poetry collection, Grief’s Alphabet
