Our next event – ‘Getting Published’

When: 24 November, 6.30pm for 7pm start
Where: Faber & Faber, 3 Queen Square, London, WC1N 3AU
Nearest tube: Russell Square or Holborn

There’s a great ‘New Yorker’ cartoon in which two people are talking to each other and one says to the other, “I’m writing a novel”, and the other one says, “Neither am I.” In another, a doctor is talking to his patient and says, “Well, if you’ve got a book in you, it’s best if we get it out.”

If either of these jokes strike a chord with you, you need to be at our Getting Published. Three highly experienced editors from different publishers will be sharing invaluable tips with you. They’ll be giving you the inside track on the dos and don’ts of finding agents, submitting manuscripts and generally giving your book the best chance it’s got of rising to the top of the pile.

The publishers are:

Tony Lacey from Penguin
Hannah Griffiths from Faber & Faber
Martin Liu from Cyan

After each of them has spoken, the rest of the session will be an open forum for anyone to ask questions and share experiences. It should be highly informative and (who knows?) maybe slightly cathartic as well.

Space is limited, and there’s a genuine chance of a sell out, so please respond to Julie quickly at twiggy.peasticks@virgin.net to reserve your seat.
