Not only is Swanwick famous for its eye-catching programme of speakers, courses, workshops, panels, talks and more … but also for the fact that you don’t have to make any tough choices in advance.
Every year, the School’s impressive reputation attracts top-level Speakers and Tutors from a wide range of writing genres, alongside the Agents and Publishers who represent them.
With something different to choose from every day, you can put together your own bespoke programme. Better still, you can do it on the spot, as the mood takes you. How great is that?
