About this Event
We're delighted to be partnering our neighbours in Waterstones to bring you two fanatastic authors for this practical event targeted at aspiriring writers, particularly of children's fiction.
Amy Sparkes and Genevieve Carver will read brief extracts from their most recent children's books and then will be open to all of your questions about writing and publishing.
Although this event is targeted at children's writers, our authors both have long careers in writing and will be happy to talk about all aspects of writing and publishing and about how they have made a living in the literary world.
