We’ve lined-up a jam-packed programme of live events, courses, workshops, and development opportunities for writers and literary translators to see you through autumn and into the new year.

Each year we partner with The Literary Consultancy to provide up to ten low-income writers with expert advice and support on their manuscript. Apply before 10am, Monday 19 January 2026 for the chance to receive constructive, detailed and professional feedback on your writing project.

Join us for a celebratory evening showcasing the brilliant writers, books, publishers, and bookshops of the East of England.

Would you like to stay and write in a UNESCO City of Literature? Residency opportunities offer writers and translators the unique and valuable gift of time, space and freedom, allowing them to produce their best work.

Our residency programme encompasses in-person and virtual residencies for writers and translators. We work with a wide range of partners and funders to support NCW and Norwich UNESCO City of Literature residencies and exchanges, and we also publicise opportunities for creatives to take part in residencies with sister UNESCO Cities of Literature around the world.
