This meeting is for those who have finished writing an unpublished book. The main focus of the evening will be on finding a publisher for a novel, and priority will be given to those who have written a novel.

Speakers will be:
Maria McCarthy: http://www.mariamccar...
Katherine Bling: http://www.singleholi...
Lisa Goll: worked in marketing for publishers (HarperCollins, Harlequin) for 6 years
We are also hoping that an editor from a publisher will be speaking

    I'd love to attend this event. My book is in progress - It's actually a travelogue on my recent adventures to South America and I'd very much appreciate the opportunity to meet some publishers and a marketing expert who can give some insight. There haven't been that many travelogues on South America, (particularly by sole female travellers) as there have been on other continents, so it would be great to get something out there.

    I've had a book on Chinese film published. Now I want to find out how to market my book about the year I spent working in China. All the chapters are written but I need to complete an introduction.

    • “ Down to earth, funny and motivating authors. Just what I needed to get me off my ass and doing what I need to do. Not the writing, but the getting published stuff that I was dreading. ”
