Hartlepool Community Hubs Local Author Showcase Event

Hartlepool Community Hubs invite writers from Hartlepool and the Tees Valley region to apply take part in a Local Author Showcase event. The event will take place at Community Hub Central on Saturday 24th October 2026 between 10am and 1pm.

The event will allow writers the opportunity to introduce themselves and their books to an audience and sell copies of their book (commission free). There will also be an opportunity to have a 15 min “Meet the Author” session. The event will be promoted on the Council Website and Community Hub Socials, as well as local press and the National Year of Reading website.

Writers can work in any genre and can write for children or adults. Books can be self-published or traditionally published. Writers should live in Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Darlington, or Redcar & Cleveland.
Please email [email protected] for an application form.

Public and staff have shared messages of thanks, which are currently on display in Commubity Hub Central, along with images of some of our volunteers and messages of what volunteering means to them. ❤️
