The Writers Workshop - Writers Day 2026

Writer’s Day 2026 is a chance to spend a whole day immersed in writing, ideas and conversation, alongside others who care deeply about the craft.

Across the day, you can expect a mix of practical writing workshops, thought-provoking talks and generous discussion. Sessions are designed to get you writing, help you reflect on your practice and open up new ways of thinking about voice, form and process. There is space for both focused work and curiosity, whether that is drafting new material, revisiting something half-finished, or simply listening and absorbing.

Between sessions, there is time to pause, chat and connect with other writers, swap experiences and feel part of a wider creative community. The atmosphere is supportive, encouraging and grounded in the belief that writing is something you learn by doing, together.

You can dip into different sessions across the day or settle into a slower pace, taking what you need from the programme. Expect inspiration, practical tools, fresh perspectives and the quiet satisfaction of having spent a day seriously engaged with your writing.
