You've finished your manuscript – congratulations! But what now?
Join Kathleen Whyman and a panel of published authors as they demystify the often-bewildering world of publishing. From traditional routes to self-publishing and everything in between, panelists will share their real experiences navigating agents, submissions, contracts, and editorial processes.
Learn about querying strategies, handling rejection gracefully, understanding publishing timelines, and making informed decisions about which path suits your book best.
Whether you're researching your options or ready to take the plunge, this frank discussion will equip you with practical knowledge to confidently launch your words into the world.
Buy a ticket to this panel and get a £5 voucher to spend in the Writers' Hive and support our authors.
