Writing On Air’19 is a one-of-a-kind broadcast festival of original writing.
Happening over four days, Thursday 21st-Sunday 24th March, at Chapel FM Arts Centre, our beautiful state-of-the-art studio and performance complex in a restored Methodist Chapel, WOA ’19 will be even bigger than before, with over 60 programmes on the theme of Hearing The Voice.
Whose voices are loudest in our society? Whose voices don’t get heard? What are the voices we hear inside our heads? How do we find our own voice? This year, there will be a foretaste of WOA in the inaugural Leeds Lit Fest earlier in March.
Apart from being a literature festival on the radio, what makes WOA different is that all the programmes are conceived and created by writers and readers themselves. Join us for readings, interviews, discussions, open mic, documentaries, workshops, radio drama and more!
