The Literary Consultancy has teamed up with Byte the Book to produce an exciting new event on Friday June 5th with a carefully curated selection of the latest publishing, writing and digital projects. Combining key elements of our traditional Writing in a Digital Age Conference, and Byte the Book’s renowned salons – with a cracking good party thrown in for good measure. The programme includes an exclusive, up-to-date research presentation about e-book trends by Steve Bohme (Nielsen Book Research), in conversation with Roger Tagholm (Publishing Perspectives), along with five presentations by writers and organisations playing a key role in the future of publishing, hosted by Claire Armitstead (The Guardian) and a keynote about book marketing by Chris McCrudden (Midas PR). The day will conclude the return of our popular TLC Pen Factor Writing Competition.
We expect this event to sell quickly so book early to avoid disappointment. Early Bird tickets available until April 30th.
