Does writing bring happiness; how much should the author need to know about marketing, editing and production and how can you best prepare your work to meet its market? The annual Kingston Publishing Conference takes place from 3-4th September, with an excellent line up of speakers during two thought-provoking and highly practical days. The price includes £20 worth of free books and the chance to witness a unique recording of the event, in visual form. For more information on the programme and how to book, please see www.kingston.ac.uk/publishingconference
