Masterclass on Getting Publish with Literary Agent Kemi Ogunsanwo

Kemi will be giving tips on how you prepare your work for submission to agents or publishers and discussing ways to address under-representation in publishing.

*****

This workshop is for a small group of emerging women writers from the UK and South Africa. If you would be interested in claiming one of the UK places, please email customhouse@literatureworks.org.uk with a short outline of how the workshop will benefit your writing at this stage. Deadline for expression of interest is 12 pm Friday 3rd December. This workshop will take place on Zoom, we will send joining instructions after confirming your place.

We welcome authors who identify with our aim of celebrating and supporting women’s writing in ways that reconcile with their understanding of their own gender identity. This includes trans women, non-binary and cis women writers. We do not require any statement beyond an author’s self-identification and interpret a booking or expression of interest as confirmation of that identification.
