The Book Gym's Author Lunch & Learn

Join us for an intensive dose of support as you write. Whether you’re a complete novice or a seasoned writer who has plateaued, our new-look Lunch & Learn from The Book Gym will help you strengthen your storytelling muscles and succeed on the road to a published book you can be proud of.

We’re making publishing a book more achievable for people with an innate passion to write, even if they're limited on time, skill, motivation, or industry know-how. Let's nail this book-writing thing!

While you're being guided on this literary experience by book editor and coach Denise Roberts, you'll nourish your body and mind with a nutritious lunch at the inspiring Cow in Stratford City, overlooking the London Stadium and the Queen Elizabeth park.

Seats at this event are genuinely limited, so secure yours today—once they’re booked, they’re gone!

Tickets are just £17.50 and include meat and vegetarian options from the Brunch menu, which will be sent to you ahead of the date (just pay for your own drinks).

Denise Roberts, a seasoned publishing professional with 27 years of experience in the industry, is founder of The Editor’s Chair and The Book Gym. As a trained journalist, editor, and publishing consultant, Denise has dedicated her career to supporting new writing talent and empowering authors to succeed. With her guidance, you'll gain the skills, motivation, and insights you need to excel in your writing journey.

The Book Gym is aimed at aspiring and mid-journey authors who love writing and want to get better at it. We’ve created a supportive community where every story finds its voice, and every voice finds its strength. Our aim is to build a genuinely diverse community of professional authors fit for the constantly evolving publishing world. To achieve that, we're bringing back the fun and artistry of writing and demystifying the pathway to publishing a book.
