How to Get Published - Bristol 2025
We are really looking forward to welcoming you to our ‘How to Get Published’ conference in collaboration with Literature Works. You will be hearing from authors, agents and publishers to help you hone your craft and get your work published.
We’re delighted to be partnering with Literature Works to offer this full day conference packed with practical presentations and panel discussions from authors and publishing industry professionals. Our programme has been purpose-built to provide a range of guidance on the writing craft as well as insight into the world of publishing, while our networking lunch gives you a unique opportunity to connect with writing peers and build your own community.Attendees will hear from established writers as they share essential advice on developing your craft as a writer and working towards publication. Plus two dedicated panels across the day will provide opportunities for you to hear from a selection of agents who will demystify the submission process, and also a selection of publishers and editors who will talk you through a range of possible routes to publication as well as answering your questions.
