Getting Published Masterclass and Networking Event

Are you already writing, perhaps being published in journals or anthologies, but want to get your first book published? Or are you self-published, and want to know more about honing and promoting your books, or moving into traditional publishing? This event will help demystify the processes and the options, so you can decide on the best route for you.

You'll hear from an expert panel that represents different aspects of publishing. And there’ll be time for you to meet and network with other local writers who may be able to support you.

The panel will share their wisdom about:

- different paths to publication, their costs, risks, time commitments and income generation opportunities
- the route to traditional publication, including the role of literary agents, what happens after a book deal is signed, and how authors, agents and publishers
- the importance of marketing, and particularly social media, in promoting your book
