Practical advice on confidently submitting to agents from Curtis Brown Creative.
Across one hour, Abby Parsons from the Curtis Brown Creative writing school will be in conversation with Helena Maybery from the Curtis Brown literary agency, they will share insider advice on what it takes to make your manuscript shine and get noticed by a literary agent.
They will discuss what agents are truly looking for, how to make your submission stand out, and dispel common myths about publishing (and what happens behind the scenes).
The conversation will also touch on Curtis Brown Creative’s courses as well as their Breakthrough Writers’ Programme for under-represented writers.
All four talks on Friday are geared towards those who have finished their book or are nearing the end, and what to know to do next.
Book all four Friday talks for the price of three and save £10.
There will also be a headshot photography studio for those writers and authors that need that all-important professional headshot for their book covers, social media and website.
This talk is sponsored by Digital Authors Toolkit and Build Your Author Brand.
