How to Get Published - Exeter 2023

Are you a writer looking to develop your craft? Do you want to understand more about the publishing process from the people who know it best, such as editors and literary agents?

We’re delighted to be partnering with Literature Works to offer this full day conference packed with practical presentations and panel discussions from authors and publishing industry professionals. Our programme has been purpose-built to provide a range of guidance on the writing craft as well as insight into the world of publishing, while our networking lunch gives you a unique opportunity to network with writing peers and build your own community.

In our first two sessions we will hear from established writers as they share top tips on developing your craft as a writer and working towards publication. In the afternoon we will hear from a selection of agents who will demystify the submission process, as well a selection of publishers and editors who will talk you through the different routes to publication and answer your questions.
