London Writers' Club

With details of the first event of 2021:

Dear all

We'd like to wish you all a safe and happy New Year. And to welcome you back to LWC's first live event of 2021. We are excited to announce that the speaker will be Silé Edwards of the Mushens Entertainment agency.

Silé has already been shortlisted for a 2021 Trailblazer Awards! The award, run by The London Book Fair, the Publishers Association, and supported by the Society of Young Publishers and Book Brunch recognises twelve industry professionals under the age of 30 “who are demonstrating innovation, flair and ambition in the book industry.”

Silé joined Mushens Entertainment in 2020 and has already secured 5 deals for her clients in the past few months. And she has joined with Avon to set up the Avon x Mushens Entertainment Prize for Commercial Fiction Writers of Colour. Join us to find out what is on her wish list and exactly what she is looking for in a submission.

I f you are not a member, please buy an advance ticket and we’ll send you the link to register on the day of the event.

If you are a member, no need to register, we will send you a link on the day of the event.
