Welcome to Swanwick

11th to 17th August 2012

Believed to be one of the longest established writers’ conferences in the world, the Swanwick Writers’ Summer School has been captivating audiences for well over 60 years.

Today, the ‘magic of Swanwick’ is legendary among writers, both published and unpublished. For one spell-binding week every August, some 300 novelists, poets, playwrights, short story writers, comedy writers, journalists, biographers and more gather together to renew old friendships and forge new ones.

Many travel huge distances from around the UK and abroad just to be there. For them, the Swanwick week is a non-negotiable date in their writing year.

We look forward to welcoming you to the magic of Swanwick this August …
