Saturday 21 March 2026, 2pm-5pm   Morpeth Library @ Leisure Centre, Morpeth, NE61 1SR

Let’s talk about the business of writing at Morpeth Book Festival 2026

About this event

Elaine Cusack and Hannah Hoare, from Business & IP Centre North East, help local businesses thrive—and as writers themselves, one of their favourite things to do is support local writers.

This special afternoon session in the Northern Poetry Library on the first floor of Morpeth Library will be divided into two parts:

  • Part One: An insightful look into the different routes writers can take to achieve their goals, along with common pitfalls to avoid.
  • Part Two: An open mic session where writers are invited to share their stories or poems, network, and ask questions.

Whether you’re an aspiring author or an experienced writer looking to connect, this FREE event offers a supportive and inspiring space to learn, share, and grow.

Morpeth Book Festival 2026 takes place over the weekend of 21-22 March 2026.
