The Business of Publishing is a whistle-stop tour of the basics of the publishing industry. We’ll look at pros and cons of self-publishing vs the traditional route. We’ll talk about what a publisher is actually buying when they acquire a book and we’ll talk about when not to sign on the dotted line. Agent-Hunting is for anyone considering the traditional path and hoping for agent representation. We’ll look at how to decide which agents to submit to and how to put together the strongest possible submission pack.

These are standalone workshops which you can book individually – you don’t even  have to do both the sessions in one evening – or you can pick and mix from the full set of 14 workshops running over 7 weeks to build your own bespoke novel writing course, or you can book all 14 and claim a discount. All the workshops are led by Alison.
