Last week I posted about things you should do at a writing event. So this week, I thought I’d offer some advice on how to find writing events near you, should you want to attend one.

Google
Of course, this tends to be everyone’s first option, and why not? It’s probably the quickest and easiest way. Google even has it’s ‘near me’ feature, so you can search for events, and it’ll use your location to bring up the ones closest to you. Alternatively, if you don’t have your location on show, you can just type in your town/city name to see what comes up.
Social media
Social media is a great way for writers to connect with other writers, and also agents, publishers and writing societies. Following writing accounts allows event information to land right in front of you. It’s not just writers needing events…events need writers too…
