Are you super organised with your author finances? Maybe you try to put off thinking about them as it’s overwhelming? Either way managing your finances, and adopting good financial habits, are a key part of the business of being an author. And they’re something to think about even before you reach publication.

If you want to get clear and confident on how you manage your finances as an author this is the event for you.

Lizzy Riley, Account Manager from our fabulous Agent’s Table’s sponsor, HW Fisher, will be in conversation with Kelly Weekes talking all things money and sharing useful tips and advice for authors.

HW Fisher have a dedicated Authors and Journalists team, of which Lizzy is part.  They are proud to work with a wide variety of talented originators from the creative industries, including authors, journalists, actors and musicians, amongst others.  They have unparalleled experience within this sector, and offer advice, assistance and support to all authors, from the early stages of writing and planning, through to being published and beyond.

The conversation will cover the expenses you can claim, how to get organised, how to account for author advances and varying levels of income across different years.

There will also be plenty of time to ask Lizzy your questions in the session.
