Writing for Page, Stage and Screen: Fiction and Script
Are you a writer of fiction and/or script, looking to develop your craft? Do you want to understand more about the process of getting your work into the world from the people who know it best, such as editors, literary agents and producers?
We’re delighted to be partnering with the Open University to offer a full day of in person advice to help you take your writing to the next level. You will get the chance to hear from fiction authors, playwrights and screenwriters who will each share their top writing tips, help you to develop your craft, and offer guidance on how to ensure your work is ready for publication or production (as well as sharing insight into their own journeys). Our line-up has been purpose-built to provide a range of guidance on the writing craft across both fiction and script, as well as insight into the world of publishing and production. A panel of literary agents, editors and producers will end the conference by shedding light on the process of getting your work out into the world.
A particular focus of this event is language and character, and how to use both to your advantage when writing fiction and script. We hope that the inspiration, information and writing advice on offer will encourage you to return to your work-in-progress with renewed optimism.
We are really looking forward to welcoming you to our ‘Writing for Page, Stage & Screen: Fiction & Script’ event in collaboration with the Open University. You will be hearing from writers, agents and publishers to help you hone your craft and get your work out into the world.
