Since 2010, over three hundred writers per year have travelled to York, England to attend our Festival of Writing. After a two-year break, we bounced back better than ever. Hundreds of you joined us in September 2022 for an action-packed three days featuring 7-mini courses and 70+ workshops covering everything we know about writing, editing, publishing and more.

The Festival is over for this year, but we’d love to have you at the next one. Register your interest below.

Watch back our marquee event – Friday Night Live! Our finalists this year were some of the strongest yet and made the event a dramatic, captivating and heart-wrenching affair.

York Festival of Writing: Where Your Writing Journey Begins

Not sure I’d be where I am now, if I hadn’t got myself a ticket, taken a deep breath, and stood up on that stage at Friday Night Live.

Make Life-long Writing Friends at the Festival

It certainly lived up to expectations. You were all very welcoming and exceptionally friendly and made being in a new place all by myself very exciting and not at all uncomfortable. The professionals and people from the industry that I met were also greatly helpful and wonderfully friendly. I have made contacts and learned much that I know will be helpful for me in the here and now as well as further down the road.
