Opportunities for Writers

Ilkley Literature Festival is produced by Word Up North, a Yorkshire-based arts charity and literature development agency that offers creative development opportunities for emerging writers in the north. Our work with writers ranges from courses to workshops, mentoring to residencies, networks to commissions. Head over to the Word Up North website here or via the buttons below to discover our latest opportunities and read all about our previous works with writers.

If you’re a writer interested in appearing at the festival, you can find out how to submit your book here.
