Monday 22nd June 2026 ONLINE WITH NOTTINGHAM WRITERS’ STUDIO
After the last workshop I led on behalf of Nottingham Writers’ Studio – HOW PUBLISHING WORKS – attendees wanted to know more about getting published by small/indie presses, so this workshop is for them! 😀 (Though anyone interested in being picked up by a small press is most welcome to attend.) More details can be found on the Eventbrite page: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/indie-publishing-the-third-alternative-tickets-1986305138138?aff=ebdsoporgprofile
