Who gets published and why? Sarah MacLachlan, publisher at House of Anansi Press, which recently released such award–winners as Kathleen Winter’s novel Annabel, Eric Siblin’s memoir The Cello Suites, Ken Babstock’s collection of poems Methodist Hatchet, Wade Davis’s nonfiction classic, The Wayfinders, and Ian Hamilton’s debut mystery The Water Rat of Wanchai, gives the straight goods on what a publishing house looks for in a manuscript. What happens to your precious tome when it lands at a publisher’s office? How is the decision made to offer a contract to a writer? Does it matter if you don’t have an agent? Get the answers to all your questions from the head of one of Canada’ most respected and honoured publishing houses. Limited enrolment.

General Admission: $25.00/$30.00 at the door.
