How to get into books? What’s a bad first sentence? Alan Kazam and the alternative Harry Potter universe. Nick pitches 'Robo-Tindal: Judgement on Chelmsford'. How BookTok has sent physical sales through the roof. Boardroom sausagefests. Fiction Girl and her sharpened commas. Female-run publishing and smashing the glass ceiling. Working with literary agents to get your book seen by publishers. Do judge a book by its cover! Naughty AI robots writing books. South Asian drag queens. And Sangita is pretty much horizontally chilled with the post-holiday vibes - so she doesn’t talk much for the second half - just dipping her toes in the sea of creative inspiration.
Keshini is Publishing Director from Hera Books
