Ever wondered what happens after a manuscript lands on a publisher’s desk? Join Marie Duke (Acair Books), John Randall (Islands Book Trust), Kara Smith (Mosaic Press) and Molly Murray (FlowMagic), for a lively discussion on bringing books from idea to publication. Whether you’re an aspiring or established writer, this is a unique opportunity to hear from those who can help turn great ideas into printed pages.
From Pitch to Print is an interactive event designed to demystify the publishing process and give aspiring writers direct access to people working within it.
Writers will have the opportunity to pitch their book or publishing idea to a panel of publishers and industry professionals, receiving constructive feedback on the concept, its potential audience and how it might be developed. The wider audience gets an unusual insight into how publishers assess ideas and what happens between an initial concept and a finished book.
The emphasis is on access, learning and constructive exchange rather than competition, creating an informal space where writers and publishers can meet, ask questions and better understand the route from pitch to print.
