Beyond The Page: Navigating Publishing as POC

As a platform committed to exploring the socio-political dimensions of literature, we acknowledge that the politics of books go beyond the writers, encompassing everyone involved in the book industry.

With this in mind, we are thrilled to be hosting a publishing panel with speakers from across the industry keen to share their perspectives and experiences in collaboration with Thrive at Hachette UK. We will be in conversation with: Masooma Malik (Editorial Assistant, Jessica Kingsley), Serena Arthur (Commissioning Editor, Bonnier Books), Prema Raj (Head of Rights, Lutyens and Rubinstein), Safae El-Ouahabi (Associate Agent, RCW) and Hennah Sandhu (Marketing Manager, Orion).

The event will be held on Tuesday 28th January from 6:30pm-8:30pm at the Carmelite House, 50 Victoria Embankment, London, EC4Y 0DZ. We will be providing food, refreshments and a fantastic discussion, so please come along to hear from some of the most impressive women in the industry.

We want this space to be a completely free, contributing space for all to feel comfortable in asking any questions they may have about publishing — no matter how relevant you think it is and regardless of how much you know of the industry.
