London Writers' Club LIVE and one-page pitches

With details of upcoming 'meet the agent' events, LWC Live and more:

January LWC Live Our first event of the year is on Tuesday, 22 January with Alice Lutyens of Curtis Brown.  Full details here or grab a ticket here (tickets are £15 in advance and £20 on the door - members come for free but do let us know if you want a ticket).  Some changes for the New Year It's a new year, so LWC are evolving - more to come on this - but one change at LWC events comes as a result of feedback from agents at previous events who have said that its hard to focus on and really take in writers' pitches - especially after speaking for a good hour. To help them remember  you and your book and increase your chance of being asked for a full manuscript, after the speaker's talk/Q&A we will ask authors to bring a one page pitch instead of pitching at the end one-to-one (remember only one page not your whole ms!*) with your contact details on. These should be handed to Kirsty/Jacq and we will pass them over to the agent.   This means we'll have more time during the actual event for questions and answers - and remember to introduce yourself and your book title during the evening, if you'd like, so the agent can make the connection when they read your pitch. And a special change just for this month's event: Alice from Curtis Brown has a hearing impairment which means that questions from the floor might be tricky. We'll be asking the audience to write their questions down during her talk so we can pass her the questions to respond to. So bring your pen! *What should your one page pitch include? Title/genre/your name Logline  Paragraph summary Characters/setting/time period And finally, what books/films/pop culture would you book sit on the shelf with? . Dates for 2019 January 22: Alice Lutyens of Curtis Brown February 26 Felicity Trew of Caroline Sheldon Literary Agency March 19: Samuel Hodder of Blake Friedmann Agency Book for January's event here. £15 in advance, £20 on the door.  Contact info@londonwritersclub.com Stay Connected

The circle is divided into eight segments, each representing a stage of the plot. A character is introduced, wants something, enters a new environment, adapts to that environment, achieves their goal but encounters problems as a result, leaves that world and changes as a result.
