for event with literary agent, Ben Illis

We
are delighted to announce our October #LWCLIVE speaker, the
brilliant YA and children's literary agent, Ben
Illis. This has become a real growth area for publishing so
even if its not something you are writing at the moment, it will be an
interesting event to attend.
We
caught up with Ben to ask him some quick fire questions and answers. He
told us:
I
have been lucky enough to work in many guises in the publishing industry
over the past almost two decades. As part of the branch management team
of Books Etc, I bought kids and YA books in stores across the whole of
London. I was a co-founder of Old Street Publishing. I have been both
sales director and marketing director of small publishers. I have
acquired, commissioned and edited; done picture research and
ghost-written, all ahead of turning my hand to agenting. I am a published
writer in my own right and have had the experience of working with agents
both good and bad from the other (your) side of the fence.
