This event is a relaxed networking opportunity for everyone in (or interested in) the writing industry.

It’s a great opportunity to meet your writing peers, connect with your community and find out what’s happening in the world of words in SA.

Do you struggle to find time to write? Are you too distracted by the Book of Face or binge-watching TV series? Do you ever think to yourself, ‘If only I just had a solid day to write, I’d get so much done’? Then TWELVE, the literary lock-in, is for you. 

"TWELVE" means no excuses, no limits, no distractions. Crank your writing projects up to boiling point with twelve hours of uninterrupted writing. You’ll be surprised how much you can get done.

Whether you’re starting a novel, finishing a work-in-progress, or just looking for time to focus, TWELVE is the way to do it.

Are you writing a story that includes doctors, surgeons, healers or any aspects of the medical world? Do your characters experience illness or sustain injuries — or do you want to make sure you've represented human biology correctly? We're bringing in the experts to help you to research and make accurate these aspects of your storytelling.

With our 'Ask a Doctor Anything' Q&A event, you'll have all your questions answered by an experienced medical professional.
