Join author, editor and publisher Cassie Gilmartin for an inside guide to perfecting your book pitch.

Pitching your book to publishers can be a daunting yet necessary endeavour. This half-day session with author, editor and publisher Cassie Gilmartin will cover what your pitch should include, how to identify who to send it to, and when to send it. See examples of what works.

All participants have the option to book a 30-minute zoom consultation with Cassie following the workshop at an additional cost of $75. Bookings can be made at the workshop or by contacting Varuna after the event.
