Meet the Publishers
Meet three fantastic publishers and learn more about how they work with poets and what they look for in new work. Andrew Latimer, managing editor at Carcanet, Ghazal Mosadeq, founder and editor of Pamenar Press, and Edward Crossan, editor at Birlinn, will be joining forces to demystify the work of publishers and answer your questions about pitching, editing and the poet-publisher relationship.
Andrew Latimer will be replacing John McAuliffe, who is no longer able to take part in this event.
Don’t miss the chance to have a 1:1 with some of these publishers later in the day as part of our Publisher Surgeries!
Chaired through the ConVERSE Emerging Chairs Programme with the University of Edinburgh
