Workshop: How To Get Published
By Caroline Corcoran and Tabitha Lasley
Event details
Part of Chester Literature Festival 2023
So you’ve finally finished your manuscript. Now what? Getting a book deal can feel like an opaque, intimidating process, but it doesn’t have to be. This workshop will demystify the industry and help you get your work in front of the right people. From perfecting your submission and crafting a compelling synopsis, to approaching an agent and choosing the right publisher, we can offer practical guidance and tried and tested strategies for negotiating this next phase of your career.
We’ll take in publishing trends, popular myths, reframing rejection and decoding the language of deals. We’ll also include a Q&A so we can tailor our advice to suit your needs, whatever stage you’re at. This workshop is aimed at both non-fiction and fiction writers.
HarperCollins authors Caroline and Tabitha have appeared on bestseller lists, been nominated for awards, and had their work translated into multiple foreign languages. They write fiction and non-fiction.
FEEDBACK ON MANUSCRIPTS: We will also be offering a reading service follow-on to the workshop, where we look at your work so far and give feedback. More information on that to follow on the day.
