Presented by the South Coast Writers Centre, the two-day event at Coledale Community Hall includes former publisher and literary agent Mary Cunnane who will "demystify the publishing process for writers" along with several panel discussions and workshops.
"Publishing insights are invaluable to writers who would otherwise be going into the next chapter of their book's journey completely blind," said spokeswoman Adara Enthaler.
Day One will feature discussions on Anthologies and the Small Press with Winnie Dunn, Editor with Sweatshop; Lore White, Editor in Chief of Baby Teeth Journal; and Sarah Nicholson, Editor of Heroines Anthology. Writers can get insights from Authors on publishing with Olivia Lanchester, CEO of Australian Society of Authors; and authors Pamela Cook and Alan Baxter. Finally, there'll be the perspectives from Publishers with Tom Langshaw, Editor from Pantera Press; Xavier Hennekinne, Publisher from Gazebo Books; and Laura Brading, from Well Read.
On Day Two, participants can enrol in the Publishing School for Writers led by Mary Cunnane: former publisher, agent and advisor to ACT Writers' Centre's highly regarded HARDCOPY program. The day will consist of practical workshops in the publishing process, going into detail on the function of agents, how to write a killer book proposal, and how to pitch your book to an editorial committee in a mock acquisitions meeting.
