Similar to last year’s Showcase, it will be a time of fun, learning and worshipping. There will be opportunities to connect with publishers, editors and designers as well as other authors.
A bookstall will take stock of your books to sell for the weekend and there’ll be a book launch for the anthology Palette of Grace. The opportunity for a 2 minute spotlight for you to promote your work will also be available.
There is still room for presenters for our dual-stream programme, so if you’ve got an idea, please get in touch. Because this is a ‘showcase’, we will give preference to multi-person presentations.
​
Timeline details are still being finalised, but see the PROGRAM page for our wonderful presenters!
