Understanding the publishing industry, the different publishers and agents, and how to take a novel to a publisher.

Independent publisher Indie Novella, Newington Green Meeting House and the Arts Council England workshops are designed to help writers understand more about publishing.

This one-day workshop is all about understanding the publishing industry, the difference between large and small publishers, and how to take your finished novel to a publisher. The workshop will also give you an idea of how to approach literary agents - the key players in publishing - and what is meant by the 'submission package'. It will also give you a grounding on how to put together your own submission package and what agents and publishers are looking for.

The workshop is supported by the Arts Council. You may be an aspiring writer, a complete beginner, or even an established author who wants to learn the tips and techniques used in novel writing, the workshop should have something for everyone.

As well as publishing edgy and unique fiction, Indie Novella also works with leading literary agencies such Watson, Little, David Godwin Associates and Georgina Capel to make novel writing and publishing more transparent and accessible. We believe all authors should have the same opportunities so we’ve carefully crafted a one day writing workshops to support local authors, writers and creatives in their writing journeys.
