#BOOKCAMP COURSES
Starting in February, we are delighted to make available a series of courses that focus on practical skills we’ve already been teaching our mentees and new writers internally at the Kate Nash Literary Agency. From understanding rights to how to write a winning synopsis and engaging elevator pitch, through to how to market your book, these live classes led by our literary agents will deliver practical knowledge and expert insight.
These #BookCamp courses are presented as individual online classes taking place on Saturday afternoons from 2pm until 4 or 4.30pm via Zoom.
