The Summer Festival of Writing will be back for 2022 to keep you focused on your writing career \u2013 whether you\u2019re just starting out, are submitting to agents, or want to start self-publishing seriously.<\/p>\n

Every year since 2010, over three hundred writers have travelled to York, England to attend our Festival of Writing. In 2020, we brought you our first fully digital festival which saw over a thousand writers across the world tuning in to watch over one hundred hours of live events with the best in the business.<\/p>\n

Now, the Summer Festival is completely free to anyone who is a member of Jericho Writers at the time.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n<\/svg>\n\n\n \n<\/svg>\n

The Summer Festival of Writing was the best thing that ever happened to me. I learnt everything I needed to go forward as a writer. I went from having a crappy first draft and not knowing what to do with it, to learning the tools to build, mould and edit into a beautiful novel.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n Louise O\u2019Neill\u2019s new book, Idol, is preoccupied with memory, exploring how two people can experience the same event in totally different ways.

Lisa will be joined by Anna to discuss all of this and more. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
