The second Calderdale Writers' Roadshow. Three days of workshops and talks by writers for writers:

Last year there was a fantastic response:

"Seeing so many different facets of creative writing is enlightening, helpful and therapeutic."

"Very stimulating, great speakers - entertaining content and delicious lunch!"

"I liked the focus of the workshops and the knowledge that everyone was eager to share."

This year ther are even more workshops, so you will be able to get really stuck in to your writing. The one2one sessions have been moved to the day before so that those attending won't have to miss anything.

This is a great chance to come along and meet other writers, both published and unpublished. You may be new to writing and want some help getting going, or you may be an established writer who would like some encouragement and support. It's a great chance to flex your creative muscles and get some inspiration and it's also great fun and a good day out.

These hour long sessions are a chance to meet with an author of your choice to talk about your own work.

You will be contacted before the event.
