Getting Published ft. #WriteNowLive (London)
Mostly Lit - A podcast by Mostly Lit
BONUS EPISODE: What a better way to end National Novel Writing Month, than to collaborate with Penguin Random House UK and WriteNow! Today we have an exciting episode in collaboration with Penguin Random House UK and #WriteNowLive. WriteNow aims to find, mentor and publish new writers from under-represented communities. WriteNow was created by Penguin Random House in 2016 to help ensure books and publishing better reflect UK society. It aims to find unpublished voices that are currently under-represented in books across all genres, including Fiction, Non-Fiction and Children’s. This includes writers from a socio-economically marginalised background, LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer) or BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) writers, or writers with a disability. Mostly Lit joined Penguin Random House UK at WriteNow London to find out more. Have a listen to writers Elif Shafak (@Elif_Safak) author of Three Daughters of Eve and Mahsuda Snaith (@mahsudasnaith) author of The Things We Thought We Knew about what it means to be published writers and novelists. Mostly Lit also speak to 2017 mentees Reeta Loi (@r_e_e_t_a_ )and Iqbaal Hussein who are unpublished writers as they talk about their experiences with writing, editing and at WriteNow. The trio also talks to former mentee from WriteNow 2016, Charlene Allcott (Twitter @moderatemum) who has recently had her novel bought by Transworld, about her writing process. And finally, William Heinemann editor Tom Avery talks about the editing process.
