- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 09 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Mon, 09 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Here it is! The second Isle of Wight Writers Jamboree, an annual get-together of Island writers. A chance to meet, celebrate and check in with each other.

Last year’s inaugural event was a huge success, with over 100 writers in attendance.  Held in the comfort of the Island Sailing Club in Cowes, as well as a jolly, this is also an opportunity to hear briefly from various sources who can paint a broad picture of the Island’s cultural landscape focusing on what opportunities there may be for writers, both here and across the southern region.

Organised by Medina Bookshop in collaboration with Creative Island and their talent development programme the IW Creative Network, there will also be representatives from the likes of Naked Figleaf Press, Brevity, Lemon Jelly and other groups and organisations showcasing Island literary talent.

There will be information on various activities including the search for an Isle of Wight Poet Laureate, this year’s IW Book Awards and both the Story and Literary Festivals.

Tickets are £5 or free to members of the IW Creative Network (membership is just £30 per year) All attendees will receive a cone of fish and chips (or vegan equivalent) 

Feel free to pass this onto any other local authors that you might know, the more the merrier. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Happy writing!
