Pitch Your Book: Granton Library author event

We are really looking forward to this forthcoming event with author Sheila M. Averbuch – for all writers of fiction who are looking for help on the path to publication!

What are the top pitfalls that bedevil writers when pitching their books? Do self-published authors still need a pitch, even if they’re not seeking an agent?

Sheila is the author of of ‘Pitch Your Book: write the letter that hooks an agent on your novel’ and is an expert voice in this field.

We look forward to welcoming Sheila – and you! – to Granton Library on Wed 18th November at 6.30pm. The event is open to everyone, no matter what stage of your writing career you are at. Booking is strongly advised – using our Eventbrite link https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/…/how-to-get-an-agent-with…

Or just phone the library on 0131 529 5630.

Tea & coffee will be also served.

Creative Resistance zines at Granton Library

We have a small and exclusive number of these excellent zines created by local people in North Edinburgh as part of the Creative Resistance Project partnering with North Edinburgh Arts Centre, National Galleries of Scotland and Royston Wardieburn Community Centre.

The zine contains poems, collages, drawings and other writings by folks in North Edinburgh – perhaps a familiar name or two!

Congratulations to all involved on a great project. If you would like a copy of ‘100 Years of North Edinburgh Resistance’ you can pick one up here.
