Each year, Writing NSW partners with writers’ festivals across the state to present ‘Inside Publishing’, a panel discussion that explores the inner workings of the publishing world.

Join Penguin Random House commercial fiction publisher Beverley Cousins, along with agent Jeanne Ryckmans, and author Benjamin Stevenson, as they reveal to Writing NSW CEO Sophie Groom how crime fiction publishing really works. From the story of how each insider broke into the industry, to their top tips on what not to do when trying to get published, this is a chance to get advice and insights from three of the genre’s top professionals.

This Inside Publishing panel will take place at BAD Sydney Crime Writers Festival on Thursday 2 November 2023, 2 pm to 3 pm at the State Library of NSW.
