Have you ever wondered about what goes into the publication of Faber’s fiction books?
Faber associate publisher Dr Louisa Joyner and editorial assistant Jordaine Kehinde will talk you through every aspect of the process for the different areas of fiction, from acquisition and editing to the publishing of a fiction list. Louisa and Jordaine will demystify what a publisher does and share insights and their own stories on how to get a job in publishing.
This event is taking place in person at the Bindery and will be live-streamed.
