Comma Press invites you to attend the National Creative Writing Industry Day, in partnership with Manchester Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Are you a writer hoping to have your work published? Would you like the opportunity to meet agents and editors – to learn how the industry works from its experts and sharpen the skills needed to enter it?

The day will begin with an introduction and a keynote speech, followed by two panels. In the afternoon, you can attend a workshop tailored to the needs of those looking to enter the writing industry, and meet one-to-one with literary agentcy representatives/editors to discuss your works in progress and refine your pitching technique with expert advice from industry professionals.

The full programme and schedule will be announced soon.
