London Book Fair 2022 ; Talk with 3 authors about How to make a living from writing

The Society of Authors presents three authors about their experiences in writing and tell us about their journeys to getting published.

Writing is hard – and making it pay is even harder. An expert team from the Society of Authors will guide you on how to earn pennies and make them add up to pounds. What opportunities are great, and what are best avoided? How can you negotiate a better deal? From pursuing a portfolio career, the lowdown on competitions to tips on publishing deals, and where to get grants and funding. This is the talk for you if you don’t want to starve in a garret.
