I’m already looking forward to September because I’ll be at The Festival of Writing  in York, 13-14 September, 2014, talking about finding an agent, the journey from manuscript to publication and other writerly matters, with  Stefanie Bierwerth, publishing director of Quercus books (you’ll want to meet her, she’s not only very nice indeed, she’s a powerhouse).  I’ll be a Book Doctor too: you can reserve a slot with me and I’ll give you honest one to one feedback on your book, with my two hats on: author – and Sunday Times book critic.

Festival of Writing is a big, lively annual event organized by The Writers’ Workshop. It’s brilliant because it turns people with manuscripts into people with book contracts, agents and, ultimately, published books.

More details to follow.
