Learn how to craft compelling stories and bring captivating characters to life through hands-on lessons from acclaimed authors and industry experts. In this TIFA creative writing masterclass, Karen Sullivan, Founder and Publisher of Orenda Books, will introduce you to the process of getting published, from the first stage of plotting an idea, to the final act of seeing your work in print. Born in Canada, Sullivan moved to the UK where she began her career in publishing as an assistant and worked up the ranks to eventually become a commissioning editor and author. Her experience was the catalyst to founding Orenda Books, where author care and high-quality, culturally diverse, bold and original writing are paramount. Under her leadership, Orenda Books has transformed crime publishing in translation as we know it today, and launched the careers of many iconic writers, including many Nordic bestsellers such as Ragnar Jónasson. Sullivan will help you discover your pathway to getting published by sharing her own unique experiences as an author and a publisher. All writing levels welcome.
