Uncovering Careers in Literature & Spoken Word

Learn about careers in literature and spoken word you may never have heard of, with the help of people inside the industry. Have you ever wondered how a book is published? Who edits the content, who designs the cover? Who decides the line-up for a poetry night, who sells the tickets, and who sells the books in the foyer? How do the public find out about new releases, and events with their favourite authors? Join us for a day of panel discussions, practical workshops, Q&A sessions and careers advice focussing on the many paths available within literature and spoken word from publishing and programming live events, to being a literary agent and scouting new talent.
