Are you a new writer aspiring to publication? Would you like the opportunity to make connections with the publishing/commissioning world, learn how the industry works from its experts and hone the creative and practical skills needed to enter it?

Comma Press invite you to attend their National Creative Writing Industry Day, in partnership with The Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University. Taking place at Manchester Met on the 5th November, this conference is committed to providing participants with a unique introduction to the publishing industry and its professionals.

The day will run from 9.30am-5pm on Friday 5th November, and this conference will offer a keynote speech from a prominent author, a panel discussion, 1 x one-to-one session with an agent per attendee, and a choice of two workshops.

Featuring a brilliant line-up of authors and agents, we tailor to every type of writer across levels, forms and genres. Plus there is a bursary place available on behalf of Manchester City of Literature.
