Welcome to the 2nd Woking Writers' Week which runs from Sunday 15 May to Saturday 21 May 2022.
Since hosting the event last year, the Woking Writes book blog has gone from strength to strength and has enabled many local writers to bond by meeting up, sharing publishing ideas and ultimately helping promote each other's work.
The authors are all independently published which means self-promotion is a necessity. Woking Writes, is simply here to help by providing an essential platform for them to give their latest published titles some extra exposure. In doing so, many readers and potential readers have explored our pages and discovered the work of some true local talent.
