A Night for Aspiring Writers With literary agent Francesca Riccardi

Wednesday 17th June · 6:30pm · Ink & Ember Free — booking essential

You've got the manuscript, you might have self-published (or maybe your have the half-finished draft, or the idea that won't leave you alone). The question is: what happens next?

Join us for an intimate evening with literary agent Francesca Riccardi, who'll pull back the curtain on how books actually get from your laptop to a publishing house. Whether you're polishing a query letter, wondering what agents really look for, or simply working up the courage to call yourself a writer — this is your night.

Expect honest, practical insight into:

• What makes a submission stand out (and what gets a swift no)
• How to write a query that gets read
• What a literary agent actually does — and how to find the right one
• The realities of getting published today

Bring your questions. Bring your notebook. Bring the friend who keeps saying they'll "write a book one day."

Think warm company, and the kind of advice that's usually only given behind closed doors.

Free to attend — but spaces are limited, so reserve yours below.
