I AM Writing Festival

Welcome to the I AM Writing Festival! This literary event has 65+ talks and workshops, some online and some in-person at the University of Winchester, all designed to help you improve your writing and editing skills, find inspiration, pitch to an agent or better understand the world of publishing. Whether it's voice and viewpoint you need help with, setting your scene, understanding your protagonist and antagonist better, writing a poem, or a song, connecting with more readers of your books, or pitching to an agent or publisher, you will leave the workshop knowing how to shape your career as a writer. And with lots of package prices available ranging from £37 for a single workshop to £597 for an Access All Areas pass, there's something for everyone.

The 11 live virtual talks take place 4-8 June 2022 – with access to recordings until midnight 8 July 2022.

The in-person event is at the University of Winchester 10-12 June 2022 – for those wanting to mingle with other creatives.

#Agent121s

Of course, we couldn't have a festival without bringing #Agent121 to the fore – so we have a multitude of in-person literary agents/editors for you to seek feedback from. Get advice on your covering letter, synopsis and opening chapters so your manuscript  is ready for when you start querying agents to represent you.
