We had a well-attended student-focussed event this week featuring 3 fantastic speakers from publishing.
Thanks to Kath Burton (Taylor & Francis), Bea Fitzgerald (Hodder & Stoughton), and Emma Shercliff (Laxfield Literary Associates) for their time, energy, and enthusiasm.
As well as sharing their stories and offering advice to students, Kath, Bea and Emma shared lots of resources on making publishing more accessible. Thanks to Daniel Mitchell from Careers for co-organising the event and collating this material.
