We are putting the finishing touches on the program for the first Women’s Football Writers Festival and we’ll be making announcements all this week.
The program will feature keynotes from three leading writers on the themes of books, media and digital. There will be lively panels on each of those themes; creative and provocative presentations from people and organisations; and interviews with some very special guests. All in all a program chock-a-block with great personalities and engaging content all focused on active practitioners in women’s football writing and content.
First of all, let’s introduce our keynote speakers.
