Route to Publication – Tiverton Book Festival

Liznojan Books and Coffee is hosting Tiverton’s 5th Book Festival!

Anna Lunk, Yaara Lahav Gregory and Sophie Pierce have all published books in the last year, following different routes to market. They will talk about their three very different books – two novels and a memoir – and the different ways they managed to get them published.

Yaara’s Night Swimming in the Jordan (Cinnamon Press) is a coming of age novel set in 1970s Israel, but which also incorporates life in Devon. Anna’s novel Amie’s Rest (Buzzard Press) is the story of a young girl navigating life on her own after being in care, while Sophie’s memoir The Green Hill: Letters to a Son (Unbound) is about the sudden death of her son Felix, and the role of the Devon landscape in her journey of grief.

In this fascinating talk, we’ll cover:
