Are You Ready to be Published? (Bell House Dulwich)

My bestselling seminar for writers of fiction and non-fiction on everything that writers can do to prepare themselves and their submission to be read by publishers or agents is on again.

If you're starting to think about your submission materials and approach to agents/publishers, or even if you've started already, join this one-day course find out all the ways to impress and common mistakes you want to avoid. Every writer can feel daunted at the prospect of approaching publishers and agents but this course will dispel any anxiety and leave you feeling much more confident.

Even better, we'll have time at the end of the day for a feedback session for those who want input on their submission pieces; opening pages, covering letter, synopsis, chapter summary etc.
