*puts editorial hat on*
Are you a soon-to-be-published author? Have you just signed a contract with a publishing house? Has your book just been released? Are you working on that difficult second novel? If so, you may be unsure of what to expect, what you should be doing now and what your publisher should be doing for you. But never fear! Help is at hand!
On Tuesday 14th October, I’ll be appearing as part of a SCBWI Professional event, alongside Rosi Crawley, PR Manager of Hot Key Books, and Joanna Moult, agent and founder partner of Skylark Literary, to help demystify the publishing process.
Our panel, chaired by Non Pratt (author of Trouble and previously editor at Catnip Publishing), will try to explain an author’s rights and responsibilities, and lay out the long and slightly bizarre journey from signed contract to books on shelves.
The event will cost £12 for SCBWI members (£18 for non-members) and it will take place from 6:45pm to 8:45pm, in
St James Piccadilly Conference Room
197 Piccadilly
London
W1J 9LL
If you’d like to book, please email profseries@britishscbwi.org.
I hope you’ll all come along!
