New Zealand writers should be the stars of our literary industry.

And what better way than to promote our writing over the ditch?

As part of New Zealand Book Month, Sophie Hamley of The Cameron Creswell Agency in Sydney is visiting our fair shores and NZBM and NZSA along with The New Zealand Book Council invite you to attend a light lunch to discuss the Australian publishing scene, and answer your questions.

This is a great opportunity for Wellington writers to meet an Australian literary agent and discuss opportunities and developments internationally. Do you want closer ties to Australian agents and publishers? Are you aware that you can submit to agents in Australia and, indeed, anywhere overseas? She’s interested to hear how you feel about rights and what's happening in the industry from your perspective.

Hello Bookman - thank you for promoting our event. We've all been spelling Hutchison Road with an "n" it doesn't have! Also, just to advise the room has moved from Studio One to Drama Three, but someone will be on reception at Te Whaea the National Dance and Drama School, to show people where to go.
