Carody Culver, editor of Griffith Review, and Terri-ann White, Publisher at Upswell, will take you through the steps of pitching your work to publishers. How do you effectively approach a publisher and when? Do you send short works to literary journals and then progress to a book-length manuscript, or can you stay in the world of short-form writing? What’s the difference between pitching a short work and pitching a manuscript? What should you expect after you submit your proposal? And what actually happens to your precious work once it’s been accepted, from the different stages of the editing process to book cover design and beyond? We’ll endeavour to answer all these questions and more. We’ll take you through the responsibilities of both parties – writer and publisher – in the remarkable adventure of going from pitch to print.
