Writers Katherine Johnson and C.L. Flood in conversation with moderator Tim Byrne.
Booksellers often encounter customers who are looking for “a good read”. But what is a good read? Is it entirely subjective based on ones preferences for language, character and plot? Or are there elements to a story that always make it better than others?
With authors Alan Carter, Karen Brooks and Meg Bignell, and publisher Annette Barlow
Moderator: Liz Evans
What does it take to publish your novel? How do you make the shift from writer to author? What are publishers looking for, and how might you, as a writer, respond? Transforming a manuscript into a book takes more than blood, sweat and tears, but with the right support, it needn’t involve the compromises many writers fear. This session represents a rare and valuable opportunity to get inside the publishing experience from both sides as some of Tasmania’s best-selling novelists and one of Australia’s most experienced publishers come together for an industry-focused panel discussion on the exciting, yet nevertheless daunting pathway to publication.
