It’s now just under two weeks until our 2017 event and we now have a very exciting looking schedule.

There are still spaces available and at the bargain price of £39 for the weekend we would love for you to join us.

If you’re wary of a big convention but want to connect with likeminded fandom people in the UK then @writerconuk might be the place for you.

Each year in September we have a small weekend long event. It’s a bit like a convention, but a lot more relaxed and a lot smaller in number. 

There’s panels, craft sessions, a quiz, regular breaks for drinks and socialising and a raffle (free as part of your ticket price).

This years event will take place on September 15-17 in the Ramada Hotel in Coventry. 

Tickets are £39 for the weekend and include a goody bag, entrance to all the panels and workshops, entrance into the quiz and a raffle ticket. 

On the agenda for this year’s event we have:

Music in fandom

Inspiration without plagiarism

Giving feedback

Writing the perfect line

Why we love fictional characters

Social media and fandom (discussion)

Craft session

Getting inspiration from the things around you 

With just over a week to go until the 2016 event I can now unveil the schedule \o/

As you can see we have a broad range of topics being covered and it promises to be an exciting and fun time.

It’s not too late to get a ticket if you’re still interested in attending. Order by Saturday if you want to guarantee to get a goodie bag but we will accept signups beyond that point if you still wish to attend. 

Tickets can be purchased by signing up on Livejournal or at our Website

That’s just the beginning. More panels and workshops are in the pipeline.

It’s kept as a small event to allow people to interact and get to know each other in a relaxed environment so a maximum of 40 tickets are sold. We try and keep the event as close to non-profit as possible and if any proceeds are made they will be carried forward to be used in next year’s event.
