Day to turn the page for Manx authors

Writers' Day at King William's College

Aspiring local authors are gathering in the south of the Island for a day aimed at helping them develop their craft and find out to get published.

King William's College is hosting Writers' Day - a key event in this year's Manx Litfest - between 9am and 4pm.

Established authors will give talks and take part in panel discussions, and there'll be an advice session on how to pitch a manuscript to a publishing agent.

LitFest director John Quirk says it's an ideal opportunity to learn from the professionals:
