We are currently programming for our 2024 Local Word Writers Festival and we'd love to hear from you!
Are you a local writer or creative? Do you have a workshop you would love to present? Or maybe you're a local author with a book you'll be releasing this year?
Expressions of Interest are now open and you can submit your entry here.
Submissions close on 1 April.
This year’s Festival will take place across two days on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 August – mark your diaries now!
