We cannot wait for our live panel in September at the Century Club! ✨ Join us for Tome Truths: What Do Authors Need to Know About Publishing?

Publishing can be bewildering for authors. Why does it take so long for agents to come to you when you submit?  Do you need an agent? Why does it take so long to get a book out once the contract has been agreed? What really goes on with your book in a publishing house? How much does it cost to publish a book? Is self publishing a bad idea? What does it mean when publishers talk about rights? Join us as we discuss these topics and more. 

‼️ Once you’ve registered, please feel free to submit your own questions for our panel to discuss. ‼️

Byte the Book’s Justine Solomons will chair this event, joined by:
🔴 Clare Christian - Director of Operations at Kevin Anderson & Associates
⚪️ Cat Black - artist and author of Feast (Dialogue Books, 2026)
🔵 Abi Fellows - Literary Agent at DHH Literary.

As well as the discussion, there will be plenty of time to network with the great the good of publishing and to meet other authors.

This event will be 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.

✨ Have you booked your ticket for our Agent Tables in September or November 2026?✨

Our Agent Tables are a fantastic opportunity to meet literary agents! Each author will meet with two agents privately on the day to discuss their work. These private sessions will last fifteen minutes each, and the agents will have read your work beforehand. For the remaining time, the authors will have the opportunity to take part in discussions about their publishing experiences with the other participants.

Our next session will be on September 16th 2026. We ask that you submit your work to us by WEDNESDAY, 28th AUGUST 2026 to give us time to send it to the agents.

This event is sponsored by HW Fisher.

Tickets are £100* for Byte The Book members and £150* for non-members.

If you’re not already a member you can join Byte The Book via this link in our #bio ✨

**Ticket price excludes booking fee and VAT.

🚨FOR FULL SUBMISSION DETAILS 🚨 Please follow the link to the event 🔗
