The Mslexia Roadshow...

FOR EVENT ORGANISERS
Following the success of our previous two Mslexia Roadshow tours, we have received a major grant from the Arts Council Touring Programme for a third tour.

LITERARY FESTIVALS
are offered a range of ‘getting published’ workshops led by Mslexia’s Founder Debbie Taylor, who is also a published novelist and travel writer.

ARTS VENUES
are offered their choice of one-day or two-day ‘mini-festivals’, which will explore the ‘getting published’ theme in more depth, with writing workshops and masterclass events with top authors and literary agents about the road to publication.

Audiences for our previous tours have been excellent.
Almost every workshop has been oversubscribed and we attracted up to 300 people to our big author events. Authors who have toured previously with Mslexia include Monica Ali, Helen Dunmore, Anne Fine, Maggie Gee, Joanne Harris, Hilary Mantel, Val McDermid, Michele Roberts, Sarah Waters and Fay Weldon.

'Very stimulating discussion. It was wonderful to get a chance to talk to Fay Weldon.'

'I came away buzzing with new ideas. I can't wait to get home to try them out.'
