What do publishers look for in a book?

What Do Publishers Look For In a Book? This is probably the single most important question that interests translators, but there is frequently a gap between their interest and their knowledge of how publishers actually work. This discussion will be a chance to close that gap. Speakers include: Richard Milbank (Head of Zeus, non-fiction); Katharina Bielenberg (MacLehose); Ellie Steel (Harvill Secker)

Society of Authors Offices, 84 Drayton Gardens, London, SW10 9SB

The European Literature Network was created with the mission of championing great writing from Europe in the UK – and doing it together. Open to writers, translators, publishers, agents, booksellers, festival directors, arts managers and journalists, ELNet is a free, collaborative hub for sharing news and views.

ELNet operates without funding or grants (unfortunately) and is therefore dependent on the passion, professionalism and dedication of our core team and on an extensive network of volunteers, supporters, partners and donors.
