by Teri TerryLast week I was very lucky to attend a training day for new authors of Orchard Books and Hodder Children's Books in London. The fast track course was designed to orient, energise and focus new authors, especially - but not exclusively - those new to the publishing process. That's me!It was run by Author Profile, recently founded by publicist and Vampirates author Justin Somper, and
this is progress! It sounds fantastic - that's sharp of Hachette to support their authors in this way. I hope it catches on!
It really was a great day - as well as learning stuff, made us feel part of the place. <br />(Not to mention the benefit of now knowing a few faces to look for at the Christmas party)
