Writing for Young Audiences: Meet the Publishers (English-language Publishing)
What does it take to get a children’s or YA book published, and what are publishers looking for right now?
Children’s and young adult publishing is one of the most exciting and dynamic parts of the book industry, with real opportunities for writers in Wales working in English.
Join leading publishers and industry professionals for an engaging, interactive webinar that gets straight to the questions writers want answered. We’ll explore what publishers are looking for, how the commissioning process works and what can make a submission stand out. Along the way, we’ll unpack some of the key issues facing writers today, from finding your audience and understanding current trends to working with editors, illustration and building a sustainable career writing for children and young adults.
You’ll be invited to submit your questions beforehand. Whether you’re developing your first children’s book, already have a manuscript under your belt or are looking to take your writing career in a new direction, this is an opportunity to hear directly from publishing professionals and get practical insight into navigating the market.
