Idag börjar The London Book Fair IRL i London såklart. För er som inte är medlemmar i Written Word så vill jag vidarebefordra ett grupputskick från Jilly Kidd:
I'll be at the real London Book Fair this week, but if you can't
make it why not pop over to the Written Word to take a look at
the select group of reputable publishers gathered near West Hill
Cafe.
All of these publishers are active on SL and they all offer ways
for writers to submit. Macmillan, Canongate, Snowbooks, Cinnamon
and Bluechrome are all here. In the Macmillan basement you'll
find a sign with info on how to submit manuscripts to Macmillan
New Writing by email. Snowbooks also accepts manuscripts
electronically, and their sign gives out useful info.
Canongate takes submissions direct without the need of an agent
and has a forum for discussion on the website, and Cinnamon and
Bluechrome both have periodic awards for writing in various
forms with book contract prizes.
There are free ebook downloads, and the latest Spring book
releases so you can see what each publisher is looking for from
writers. Upstairs from Cinnamon you'll find Envoi magazine, a
very well established UK literary magazine, run by the poet Jan
Fortune-Wood, where you can send your submissions.
Homegrown Podcast is upstairs from Bluechrome if you want to
submit your writing for broadcast. And if you turn on music
you'll hear their latest show.
We'll be setting out some extra free items and gadgets at the
West Hill Cafe of use to writers and venue organisers. They're
all copiable and editable like many things on the Written Word
area. It's probably a bit more calm than the London Book Fair.
See you there!
