Old friends on opposite sides of the fence, Leah Thaxton, publishing director of Egmont, publishers of Kristina Stephenson, Andy Stanton and J D Sharpe (all of whom are appearing at the festival), and Julia Churchill, of the Greenhouse Literary Agency, talk through everything you need to know about getting your children’s book published. That ranges from what an agent does, to what a publisher looks for, and includes everything in between and afterwards. It is a 360-degree guide to writing, pitching and publishing your children’s book – from younger fiction for ages five and up, right through to sophisticated young adult books. We welcome back this popular three-hour session, including your chance to ask questions. Fun, revealing and incisive.
