South Warwickshire Literary Festival
Little festival, big heart
SWLF is powered by a team of enthusiastic volunteers, with very different backgrounds and jobs. We are brought together by our love of words and our desire to put the South Warwickshire Literary Festival on the map of UK Lit Fests.
We believe in giving back to the community and helping other writers however we can through sharing advice, experience, support, and opportunities.
SWLitFest is still relatively new and is run on a shoe-string budget. We aim to support those just starting out on their writing journey and give a space and a voice to writers who may not otherwise be heard.
Whether you've just got agented, whether you're still trying, or perhaps you're self-published, we want to give you a platform to get your work out there.
Our guest speakers, workshop leaders and competition judges share our values and our desire to give back and encourage others. They generously offer their time at low rates – often for no more than out-of-pocket expenses – enabling us to provide you with marvellous opportunities to meet and work with great authors to improve your writing.
