Events

Author lectures, readings, and craft workshops.

A full season in one place. See who is speaking, when, and where — then plan the reading and the questions you want to ask.

Dates and venues change. Always confirm with the organiser and buy tickets from the official box office before you travel.

Make the most of an event

Turn a reading into a real connection

Authors who prepare get more out of the room than the people who just show up.

Read one book first

Read at least one title by the speaker. A specific question about their work is remembered; a general one is not.

Bring a one-line pitch

If you get thirty seconds with an editor or agent in the room, one clear sentence about your book is enough.

Follow up in writing

Note who you met and send a short, polite email the next day. Log it in your submission tracker.

Good submissions begin with careful research.

Prepare your materials, research your options, and take the next step with confidence.
