Join Charlotte Ledger and Melanie Price from One More Chapter (HarperCollins digital publishing division) for an engaging evening exploring different routes to publication, with a particular breakdown on the opportunities for writers in digital publishing.
In this fun and engaging session that is open to all, we’ll inspire you to consider different ways of getting your writing into the world, with a focus on looking at both traditional publishing and digital first publishing. Take this opportunity to reset how you think about getting your writing into the world, and come away with inspiring ideas to take your publishing goals forward.
The evening focuses on looking at both traditional publishing and digital first publishing and will include:
– a brief overview of the digital / digital first publishing market;
– a case study of a successful One More Chapter author;
– tips and advice on making submissions directly to publishers and
– opportunities to ask questions to digital publishers Charlotte and Melanie.
This London Writers Network event will be paired with a call for submissions from writers underrepresented in publishing with an opportunity for 1-2-1 feedback with the One More Chapter editorial team. The call for submissions will be open from 1-31 March. Please note that this opportunity will be open to writers residing full-time in the UK that meet at least one of the eligibility requirements. Full details will be released on the day of the event.
