Are you writing a
non-fiction book for publication but unsure of the next step to take? Join
four literary agents on Saturday 22nd April to learn all you
need to know about how to submit your manuscript, and most importantly, how
to grab their attention.
This half-day event
will focus entirely on popular non-fiction - making it ideal for anyone
writing memoir, social history, feminist and political commentary, cookery,
pop culture, popular history, narrative non-fiction and self-help.
After two seminar
sessions, you'll get the chance to have a one-to-one session with the agent
of your choice, and also the opportunity to discuss your work with
like-minded writers over a networking lunch.
