Mission

We pride ourselves on offering a welcoming community to all writers, no matter their background or where they are on their writing journey. We create our characters and stories in isolation so we understand the importance of making real connections with other professional writers who understand how hard but also rewarding it can be. That openness and friendliness is at the heart of what we do.

However, in an ever-changing publishing landscape we are passionate about empowering authors too. From our exciting selection of workshops to the unique and invaluable opportunities to network with professionals from the publishing industry, we want you, the delegates at our annual conferences, to leave with the skills, confidence and some of the contacts necessary to help you climb the next rung of the tough publishing ladder and to maximise your author earnings.

We are a professional organisation for professional writers and our conferences are testament to that. They represent both an investment in your future and a thoroughly entertaining and inspiring weekend.
