There's still time to book for the How to get published Masterclass.  Run by the London Book Fair, in association with the Daily Mail, Authorhouse, Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook and Blackwells, it will involve bestselling authors Kate Mosse and Andrew Miller and self-published author Gareth Sibson. They will join Danuta Kean (Chair), Bill Swainson (Senior Commissioning Editor, Bloomsbury) and Simon Trewin (co-head of the books department at United Agents) as panellists.

The London Book Fair Masterclass sessions have established themselves as must-attend events for the public and are designed to place a focus on creative writing and provide invaluable tips for aspiring authors to get their work published.
 

The programme will run as follows:


Chaired by Danuta Kean, freelance journalist and publishing commentator; Simon Trewin, co-head of the books department at United Agents, will speak about the role of an agent and what they look for in a prospective new author. He is joined by Bill Swainson, Senior Commissioning Editor, Bloomsbury, who will speak on what a publisher looks for and what goes into making a new author known.

Bestselling authors Kate Mosse (Orion) and Andrew Miller (Hodder) will talk about their traditional publishing experience and author Gareth Sibson will talk about self-publishing and offer top tips to the audience.
