Each of these women has followed a different path on the journey to becoming published authors and are happy to share the lessons they learned on the way.

How do you know when your manuscript is ready to be sent out into the world? What is the difference between traditional publishing, self-publishing and hybrid publishing? Do you really need an agent or an editor to help you get your work out there? These and other common questions will be covered on the night.

Anyone with an interest in writing and publishing is welcome to attend this entertaining and informative evening.
