The Secrets of Debut Novelists: three writers reveal how they got from draft to their debut novel.

Ania Bas, Ella King and Alice McIlroy have supported each other from draft to the publication of their debuts, which cross literary fiction, thriller and comedy.

They’ll share their very different roads to publication, while covering the three stages of the publication process: preparing manuscripts for submission, finding an agent, and working with publishers.

Come for a candid conversation as they reveal the secrets and disappointments, ups and downs of getting from draft to debut.

We thank the Mander Centre for sponsoring and making this event possible.
