at The Century Club
From TikTok to TV pitches, AI authorship to people-powered publishing, the world of publishing is changing fast — and the path to getting published is no longer linear. So where will the next big book come from? Will it start with a screenplay, a Substack, or a data trend? And what does this mean for readers, agents, publishers, and the authors trying to break through?
Join Justine Solomons, Director of Byte The Book as she chairs this discussion. She will be joined by: Arsim Shillova, CEO of Libraro, Elizabeth Counsell, Literary Agent at Northbank Talent Agency, Anna Disley, Deputy CEO of New Writing North and Polly Osborn, Publishing Strategy & Communications Director at Simon & Schuster UK.
Our panel of experts will explore the future of publishing through the lens of emerging technology, creative experimentation, and evolving industry models.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from our panel, ask questions, and network before and after the discussion.
This event will take place at The Century Club, 61-63 Shaftesbury Ave, London W1D 6LQ.
Entrance is free for Byte the Book and Century Club members. Tickets are £30 plus booking fee and VAT for everyone else. Booking is essential.
