About this event

As we begin planning Issue 27 of Write On! Magazine, Editor Madeleine White invites you to our introductory session designed for anyone interested in contributing to Write On! Extra or the main magazine. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, this is a great opportunity to get involved.

Launched in June 2019 by Pen to Print, Write On! is a quarterly publication that celebrates creativity and inclusivity in writing. We welcome submissions from writers of all backgrounds and experience levels, encouraging the exchange of ideas and skills through our vibrant literary platform.

Distributed nationwide to libraries, universities, and writing centres, Write On! showcases work from self-published authors, traditionally published writers, and industry professionals. Our goal is to bring you the best insights, advice, and creative contributions from across the writing world.
