The Challenges of Publishing
with Gavin Jamieson

Three local authors will discuss the challenges, the opportunities and the preparation of writing, publishing and promoting their books. Aspiring authors will be offered advice on the writing process and a route to publication that is best for them. There
will be plenty of opportunities for questions.
