Day of appearance – Sunday
‘Ever wondered what it’s like to be a book publicist and preparing to go on an author tour? What do I need to think about? What should I pack in my bag? What goes into building an author schedule? What is publicity? Book publicist Jenna Petts will be giving the rundown of everything you need to be thinking about and what going on tour is REALLY like. Jenna was the book publicist at Gollancz for three years, has been on a myriad of tours and has worked with the likes of Leigh Bardugo, Garth Nix, Ben Aaronovitch, Victoria Aveyard, Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie. She is now at Penguin Michael Joseph working on SenLinYu, Devney Perry, Melissa De La Cruz, and is leading on all things SFF.’
