While the SYP may not make a charge for this event, the venue(s) concerned may do so at their discretion. Prices where known will be included with details of the event With deadlines and schedules rolling through on a daily basis, it is sometimes easy to neglect the people whose contribution we depend upon: authors! Without authors, publishers would be out of a job, but do we always give them the credit they deserve? So let’s hear about publishing from their perspective – what’s it like to be an aspiring author trying to get published? When that break arrives, what kind of relationship is established between author and publisher?
Confirmed so far:
Andrew Blackman: chosen from hundreds of entries, Andrew was the first winner of the Luke Bitmead Writer’s Bursary, winning a publishing contract with Legend Press. He has a Bachelor’s degree in modern history from Oxford University and a Master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University. He recently moved back to the UK after spending six years in New York, where he worked as a staff reporter for the Wall Street Journal.
His novel, On the Holloway Road, was published by Legend Press in February 2009.
Refreshments will be available.
Venue: Oxford University Press, Walton Street, Oxford
