Join us for this unique summer event and learn how to write well, and feel well. TLC's first ever Being a Writer Festival will be held online from June 20th - July 21st 2022. Across five weeks and twelve sessions, we invite you to hear from a range of inspiring speakers across the publishing and wellbeing industries. Festival Passes only on sale until June 19th so don't delay!
Individual tickets will continue to be on sale throughout the festival, as well as our £30 video tickets.
Programme highlights include a keynote by writer and activist Nikesh Shukla, sessions on writing and sustainability, joyful creativity, a publishers' roundtable, a discussion about reading culture, a debut novelists' roundtable, and creative writing Masterclasses with Dorothy Koomson, Vaseem Khan, Paul McVeigh and Monique Roffey.
All Being A Writer Festival ticket-holders are welcome to submit their work to the TLC Pen Factor Writing Competition for the opportunity to pitch your writing to a live panel of industry judges. 2022 marks 10 years of TLC Pen Factor, and as a competition it has an impressive track record for finding talent, with many of our previous finalists going on to be published - including as a direct result of meeting their agent there!
As you will have noticed, it's called the Being a Writer Festival, but there's absolutely no need to be a member of the platform to attend (you would, of course, be welcome!) Tickets are available to both members and non-members, though if you are a member you’ll be able to take advantage of a hefty discount.
