Your guide to approaching publishers

TREVOR TREHARNE

"This seminar gave me the confidence to pitch. I knew that, should I get rejected, it was that my book idea wasn’t right for the publisher, not that my pitch wasn’t right. Writing a book, or having a book idea, means you have a bit of an emotional attachment to your work.

"The course enabled me to focus on building a business proposal on what my book could offer the publisher, not just why I felt my great book idea was so great! I’ve now secured a deal with a US publisher. My pitch was a million times better once I knew what I should actually put in it!"

KATIE WHIFFEN

"Two highly engaging hours filled with specific insights from someone who has done this themselves and is involved with the process each day.

"I have a much greater understanding of the publisher's point of view and I am now very clear about the next steps to take to get my books published. I am also absolutely inspired to get on with it!"

MICHELLE GUILLEMARD

"Thank you so much for providing such a comprehensive insight into the world of publishing last night. You addressed all of my questions, and you made publishing seem like something that is realistically achievable for any of us – as long as we go about it in the right way. It's very encouraging as I feel that the dream is within reach now. I've still got a lot of work to do on my first draft, but when I'm ready to pitch it, I'm confident that I have the right tools to do it properly!"
