Why are authors taking matters into their own hands?

Self-publishing has opened up new opportunities for writers and readers alike. How is this radical new route transforming the publishing industry, the writing life and literary culture? Do publishers still have a lot to offer or are they falling behind?

Join us for a lively debate with top professionals and authors as they discuss the digital revolution and whether traditional publishing methods still apply in the 21st century.

Confirmed speakers include:

Steve White, Senior Editor at Titan Books
Gordon Wise, Literary Agent at Curtis Brown
Alison Baverstock, Course Leader of the MA Publishing, Kingston University
Matt Carr, Self-published author of The Tale of Russell Scared Crow
