This is a rare opportunity to spend time with a novelist and an editor, hearing from them about what it takes to break through creative blocks \u2013 and get your work published.<\/p>\n

This event will be held online via MS Teams on 13 May 2026 from 3pm-5pm & is free to attend, but you need to register here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dylan Morrison<\/strong> has known he wanted to be a writer since roughly age five. His fanfiction, which he\u2019s been posting online for nearly two decades, has been translated into more than fifteen languages and read by millions across the globe. A queer trans man himself, Dylan has a particular passion for telling stories about complex, layered queer characters, and for depicting those characters finding joy, self-acceptance, and love.<\/p>\n

Dylan is based in Cleveland in a home with too many books for anyone to read in a lifetime, and a frankly excessive amount of jam. His novels Fall Into You and Recipe for Trouble are available now, and his third book \u2013 Second Helpings \u2013 will be published on 21st May 2026.<\/p>\n

Hannah Bond<\/strong> is a freelance editor of commercial fiction. Previously, she has worked in-house for major traditional and digital publishers including Orion, Hodder & Stoughton, Bookouture, and Amazon. In a former life, she trained as a chef.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll hear from Dylan and Hannah about what you can do right now to make your best work and find routes into publication. There will be illuminating conversation, and plenty of time to ask questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
