Join Manchester-based independent publisher Comma Press and The Manchester Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University for the National Creative Writing Graduate Fair 2018. Now in its fourth year, the Fair is dedicated to up and coming writers, and you can watch a keynote speech from a standout author; attend panels and workshops exploring writing, editing, performance and promotion; and also pitch your work to the country's leading literary agents and editors.

To get a flavour of the previous years' events, there is an archive of keynote speeches as well as video interviews with agents and editors on the website, plus last year’s timetable, at: http://ncwgradfair.weebly.com/ and you can read coverage on the Humanity Hallows blog at: http://www.humanityhallows.co.uk/manchester-writing-school-and-comma-press-host-the-national-creative-writing-graduate-fair/ and: https://www.humanityhallows.co.uk/national-creative-writing-graduate-fair-a-collaboration-between-mmu-and-comma-press/ 

The 2018 Fair is set to be even bigger and better than last year, and is the perfect opportunity to meet fellow writers and learn more about how to get published. We hope to see you at the Geoffrey Manton Building at Manchester Met on the 2nd November. More details and a schedule to follow.

Tickets are £45 per person or £40 per person for groups of 5+. We are also offering a select number of reduced price places to writers who otherwise might not be able to attend, for example those on means tested benefits and grants. If you'd like to apply for one of these places, please contact zoe.turner@commapress.co.uk for more information. These places will be allocated one week before bookings close, on Monday 15th October, so please register your interest before then.

If you have any questions regarding the fair please contact zoe.turner@commapress.co.uk
