When Judith Heneghan is asked to pick out highlights of the Winchester Writers’ Festival, she can’t. ‘It’s all a highlight.’ She exclaims, throwing her hands in the air.

The aim of the festival is to bring creative writers of all standards together to connect with many and varied specialists of the writing industry.

The festival takes place between Friday 17, 18 and 19 June this year.

This year’s keynote speaker is definitely a highlight. It is the rebellious Meg Rosoff who now not only writes YA.

Friday evening events are FREE, there is no need to book, just rock-up.
