All writers know how hard it is to get published, and what a lonely business it can be. In this free event at Exeter Library, three Devon writers (members of the same writing group,) have all published books in the last year following different routes to market.
Anna Lunk, Yaara Lahav Gregory and Sophie Pierce will talk about their three very different books – two novels and a memoir – and share their experiences of the rocky road to publication.
Yaara’s Night Swimming in the Jordan (Cinnamon Press) is a coming-of-age novel set in 1970s Israel, but which also incorporates life in Devon. Anna’s novel Amie’s Rest (Buzzard Press) is the story of a young girl navigating life on her own after being in care, while Sophie’s memoir The Green Hill: Letters to a Son (Unbound) is about the sudden death of her son Felix, and the role of the Devon landscape in her journey of grief.
In this free and fascinating talk, we'll cover:
- The support a writers’ group gives
- Keeping going amidst all the rejection
- The different routes to publication and how they work
- Promotion and social media
- Why we write and desire to be read
A perfect event for writers at any stage of their career, or anybody who wants to learn about the craft and the industry. All three writers will have their books available for sale during this event. This is a free event, but spaces are limited, so please reserve your free place in advance.
Please note: refreshments will not be available, but you're welcome to bring in your own
