Surrey New Writers Festival
Welcome to the Surrey New Writers Festival, March 15th and 16th, 2013
The Surrey New Writers Festival is an annual public festival affiliated with the Creative Writing programme at the University of Surrey. We aim to create a festival that will engage with writing and creativity in dynamic ways. Our programming is of interest not only to current and potential Surrey students, but also to the wider community of Guildford and surrounding areas.
The inaugural Festival will take place on Friday March 15th and Saturday March 16th. Events will be held in various locations on the University of Surrey campus and in the town of Guildford. Please see our ‘Schedule’ and ‘Artists’ pages for more information. A number of events are ticketed; tickets can be purchased through the University of Surrey box office, or at the door.
Some of the 2013 programme highlights include: artists who work with digital text and poetic performance; songwriters-in-residence; a Festival Book club; panel discussions and talks featuring publishers, writers, editors and agents; a Twitter flash mob; two exciting launch parties.
We hope to see you at the First Annual Surrey New Writers Festival!
