Adventures in Publishing

Join Elise Downing and Kirsty Reade in a session aimed at those who have the seed of an idea for a piece of adventure writing.

From book outlines to Substack themes or magazine pitches, this session will help you to drill down and find the gold dust in your idea. You’ll learn how to grow the idea into a pitch or proposal for a publisher, along with practical tips for creating a structured plan to bring it to completion.

We will also discuss the book publishing process in an attempt to demystify publishers’ decision-making processes. With Elise’s author perspective and Kirsty’s publisher angle we can offer an honest assessment of what publishers look for in proposals and what authors should be looking for in a publisher.

So whether time constraints or self-doubt have been holding you back from taking your idea further, this session will help you to overcome these barriers.
