YEOVIL LITERARY FESTIVAL EVENT

 Beena Kamlani

Beena Kamlani was a long-time editor with Penguin Random house, New York, and edits independently now. She will be revealing how good editing can not only enhance a book but transform it so that it can attract an agent’s attention. What are editors looking for? What are the secrets of breaking into the world of publishing? How do you captivate your readers? And having got their attention, how do you sustain it? Writers everywhere need this advice but it will also interest the reader.

Tickets: £5
