Naomi will be getting our conference off to an inspirational start on the Friday (09:00-09:20) with Peter offering further inspiration on the Saturday (09:00-09:20).
The inspiration will continue to flow across the two days as our 90 contributors explore what inspiration means in our work as teachers and facilitators, and as writers ourselves.
Conference rates start at just £86 for members and £25 for student members with reduced rates for contributors. All sessions are recorded and available on catch up after the conference for a limited period.
