We are proud to host an online roadshow to launch the Northern Writers’ Awards 2025. Join us online with writers Tawseef Khan, Amelia Loulli and Anna Quirke who will offer insight and advice for emerging writers considering applying for the awards and reflect on their own experiences of winning an award. The session will include a Q&A section where you can pose your questions to the panel.
