Panel Discussion: Publish Your Book in 2023

Local Word Writers Festival

Local Word Writers Festival is an annual two-day event of local writers presenting workshops, presentations and author in-conversations for writers and readers.

If you’re a writer, you’ve probably thought a great deal about writing a book. But while writing a book is a huge achievement in and of itself, getting it in front of readers is another matter entirely.

With more publishing options than ever before, today's authors have a lot to consider. This session will explore these options through the experiences of some of our region’s recently published authors – from ‘indie’ model users, to those finding success with the hybrid publishing model, to authors with many traditionally published titles under their belt, what does it take to get your book out into the world?

Featuring panellists and emerging published authors Mark Towse (Nana, D&T Publishing/2021), Rich Larsen (The Silent Society, Shawline/2023) and S.D. Hinton (The Brothers, Harper Collins/2022) and led by panel chair Alli Sinclair, historical fiction author with six books published by Harper Collins and translated internationally.

* Up to 40 participants  |  Suitable for aspiring, emerging and experienced writers AND readers, aged 16+

**THIS SESSION IS FREE TO ATTEND BUT BOOKINGS ARE REQUIRED
