The 7th International Women’s Fiction Festival will be celebrating the power of books to plunge you into another world. It is the most magical thing about books—their ability to whisk you away to another world. So we’re focusing on those books that take you away—to another time and place, another world, another universe, even. Who doesn’t want to step out of this humdrum life every once in a while. Fantasy, paranormal, even some historicals have that ability to make you live another life in another place, where the rules are different and life marches to a different drummer.
Matera Writers' Conference
The international writers’ conference is growing and will be richer and better than ever. Editors and agents from both sides of the Atlantic will be on hand to buy your book or give you hints on how to improve it or promote it.
This year the WFF Writers Conference will be more interactive, with Ask-the-Agent and Ask-the-Editor free for alls and brainstorming sessions in unusual places. Stay tuned...
Book Marketplace
Our Book Fair —the one-on-one appointments with agents and editors—is a unique opportunity to sell your books to foreign markets, the only writers’ conference where this is possible.
And let’s not forget that all this is happening in Matera, one of the most ancient and beautiful cities on earth, where fabulous food and wine are practically a cult. Soak up the magical atmosphere of the ‘Sassi’ while brainstorming your next book and make new friends over incredible meals. The Women’s Fiction Festival is a feast for all the senses
We hope to see you next year at the WFF
