DETAILS FOR 2012 COMING SOON!
Swanwick isn't all about attending courses and listening to speakers. During the week there are a number of other things happening to keep you busy. Here's what to went on in 2011:
For regular periods throughout each day, the Book Room is open to sell delegates' books. Do come along to buy something from the Swanwick family.
Tuesday sees a repeat of last year's hugely successful Q&A Publishing Panel. This year the focus is on fiction genres, as well as getting published and finding an agent. There are also prebookable 1:1 Sessions available with this year's specialist course leaders.
On Tuesday afternoon you can join our organised excursion to Calke Abbey or go for a walk, do some writing, or simply relax. Alternatively, you can take part in Write, Camera, Action! as a writer, director or actor to help showcase Swanwick's scriptwriters.
Most mornings, there is a non-denominational Lift Up Your Hearts service of praise in the Chapel, led by Swanwick delegates. There is also a service in the Chapel, or a Roman Catholic service, before lunch on Sunday.
If you are an early morning writer, why not try Lift Up Your Pens to get your creative juices flowing before breakfast?
When the day's courses and workshops are over, you can Read/Write/Relax, enjoying read around sessions, themed workshops or Unwind Your Mind with Zana Lamont to re-energise yourself before dinner and the Evening Events.
It's not all writing!
