Talks and lectures

The Publishing Programme is holding an online two-day conference on 1–2 September 2026 to mark this ten-year anniversary, and to reflect on the sociocultural, economic and practical implications for the publishing industry in the present age of uncertainty.

The Attachment Symposium will showcase current clinical, educational, and social care practices in which attachment theory is the focus. The day will consist of keynote presentations, a Round Table, and multiple workshops where theory and practice will be shared. 

This two-day course offers an accessible introduction to all the skills needed to get started writing stories of any length, fiction or non-fiction, realistic or fantastic. It is aimed specifically at anyone who feels they 'have a book in them' but may have hesitated to finish (or even start) writing it.
