How to Find a Literary Agent with Anna Stephens and G X Todd
Saturday 2 February – 1.15pm-2.15pm (60 mins)
Contemporary Room, Wolverhampton Art Gallery, Lichfield Street.
£2 (Buy tickets here)
Come along to a talk from two local speculative fiction authors on their routes to publication with a particular focus on finding and securing that most elusive of beasts: the literary agent. They will discuss what an agent does, what they expect from an author and how the two work together on idea generation, editing and securing publishing deals. More information here.
Writing the Fantastic with Stephen Aryan, Anna Stephens and G X Todd
Sunday 3 February – 4.30pm-5.30pm (60 mins)
Lighthouse, Chubb Building, Fryer Street

At present, fantasy and science fiction are two of the most popular genres in mainstream media across films, TV, games and books.
Join three local SFF authors, Stephen Aryan, Anna Stevens and G X Todd, as they discuss why they write fantasy and sci-fi, their inspirations, what they love about these genres and how they are the perfect mirror for talking about current issues in the real world. (For more information about the event, click here.)
Monday 25th February, 8pm (GMT)
