A fantastic opportunity to  network with fellow writers is the Emerging Writers Festival Roadshow. The festival will present a series of panels and discussions about writing, writers and the literary life. There are practical sessions such as The Pitch - offering no-holds-barred advice about the art of pitching your work to editors, publishers and agents. There will also be a Creative Writing Bootcamp, where you can put pen to paper in one frantic hour of writing. You can find out about the roadshow here.
