About Us
The Romance Writing Festival brings together a range of speakers, from bestselling authors to publishing insiders, editors and literary agents to help inspire, improve and progress both budding and experienced romance writers on their writing journey to publication.
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore all aspects of romance writing, from crafting compelling characters to navigating the publishing industry. There will also be ample opportunities for writers to connect and collaborate with fellow attendees, authors and publishing professionals.
A special additional day - including sea view accommodation in Bournemouth's first ever hotel - will offer a masterclass and dinner with writing professionals to really take their romance writing to the next level.
A networking event will take place in the Kings Hall of the Royal Bath Hotel - a Grade II listed building on Bournemouth's famous seafront once frequented by Oscar Wilde - on the evening of 18th October with a literary guest of honour.
The Romance Writing Festival is in addition to the main Bournemouth Writing Festival, taking place in April 2025.
