The London Book Fair (LBF) has announced the line up of industry experts and best-selling authors at The London Book Fair (LBF) next month (12-14 April) to share their expertise and experience on how to get published successfully, as they take part in LBF's Author HQ seminar programme, with Kindle Direct Publishing.
Speakers in this year's programme include best-selling authors Peter James, Mark Dawson and Andrew Crofts, in addition to representatives from a whole range of associations, publishers and literary agencies including the Alliance of Independent Authors, Bonnier Publishing, Conville & Walsh, Furniss Lawton, Harlequin, LAW, Nosy Crow, Pan Macmillan, Penguin Random House, Sheil Land Associates, the Society of Authors and Triskele Books.
This is the fifth year that Author HQ, LBF's dedicated theatre for established and aspiring writers, has hosted a three day programme of seminars especially curated to provide the knowledge, tools and insights to help writers make informed decisions about getting their work published.
Back for another year, The Write Stuff, a Dragon's Den-style panel event, will see six authors pitch their books to a panel of three literary agents on Thursday afternoon in front of the Author HQ audience, for the chance to win a follow up meeting with an agent. The afternoon will kick off with Sanjiv Rana, The Write Stuff winner 2015, talking about the past year working with agent, Toby Mundy, Toby Mundy Associates, one of the agents on last year's judging panel.
LBF is continuing to expand its author community and offer more for authors, both with the recent launch of The Author Club, giving authors access to a range of LBF benefits and networking opportunities throughout the year, as well as its LBF's Authority Newsletter, which Is free to register for authors to keep up to date on LBF news.
All Author HQ events are free-to-attend with the purchase of a three-day LBF pass, which also includes access to LBF's extensive Insights Seminar programme of 200+ events covering all aspects of the publishing industry.
Author HQ attendees can also visit the English PEN Literary Salon where a host of writers will be in conversation about their work. This year's English PEN Literary Salon line-up includes Marian Keyes, Howard Jacobson and Judith Kerr, who are LBF's Authors of the Day, as well as Jeffrey Archer, Tracy Chevalier, Peter Pomerantzev, Meg Rosoff and more.
