Why I booked next year before I even left by Helen Tompson

Last year, I partnered with Chris Jones to add to the official LSF podcast. It’s now up and running, and it’s opened doors I didn’t even know were there. So I came back this year already knowing just being at LSF could change things. What I didn’t expect was quite how much when at the closing ceremony I put my money where my mouth is!

Speakers and Pitchfest Execs Feedback 2026

‘I had an absolute ball at the festival this year. From the army of red-shirts to the positive, friendly vibes in the greenroom, and everything else in between, it was a real buzz to mingle with enthusiastic writers, pitching their best ideas, to such an interesting and wide variety of professionals. I met so many interesting people, had great conversations, and came away feeling excited and ignited about the writing industry. Thanks for having me!’ Eleanor Greene // Producer
