Write by the Beach: 

From inspiration to publication...

Full-day conference for new & experienced writers

March 12 2016

At the Academy, we're thrilled to announce our first writers' conference, an inspiring, information-packed event designed by writers, for new and experienced writers.  

And we've found the most inspiring setting, a gorgeous restored Regency building, Angel House, on Brighton seafront. With trains from London taking less than an hour, our venue is easy to reach: why not make a weekend of it?
