Writers: how long since you went to a writers/readers/literary festival? I've just returned from one and have popped up the first of a series of blog posts about the experience. This one is about all the benefits writers receive from attending. The next post will be about how to get the most from attending. And then one on what you can do to get an invite to one! Plus I'll do a highlights post as the festival was fantastic and the impact on me/for me next level. https://annafeatherstone.com/what-are-the-benefits-for-writers-who-attend-writers-festivals/

My last @cymerafestival event of the weekend was LR Lam and Amie Kaufman talking to OM Freestone, which was a total hoot to listen to.
My own event went well, authors and audience seemed happy, so job done! Caught up with chums I've not seen in ages, met some Id only known online, saw bunch of author events, drinks in cobbled courtyard... Terrific weekend.

Have added lots more writers festivals to the list for Australia today. Who knew there was a football writers festival!?!
A lot of the events are stacked in the first half of the year so do get planning if you want to attend any.
