The SoA Advisory Clinic: How to Get a Badass Deal? Live from the London Book Fair 2023

Live from London Book Fair 2023, the advisory clinic discusses all that encompasses book deals!

Need some tips on negotiating? Not sure what publishers are looking for or what a good deal looks like? Struggling to feel empowered? Join Johanna and Theo as they talk to authors Vaseem Khan and Margaret Skea at Author HQ at the London Book Fair as they share their experiences and advice on getting the best deal possible. They assess the different types of publishing, thinking strategically about the themes, characters and submissions of your books, as well as negotiating on money and contracts. Also tune in at the beginning to hear Johanna and Theo’s feedback on this year’s fair.
