An Evening with Annie Summerlee and The Book of Blood and Roses
A couple years back, Litopian Annie Summerlee started workshopping and Huddling a new writing project.
If you’ve ever watched Litopia’s Pop-Up Submissions on YouTube, you’ll immediately recognize Annie – her brilliant manuscript crits were incisive, helpful and often very funny!
Well, fast forward a couple of years, and publishers have been fighting to get hold of Annie’s first book – The Book of Blood and Roses, just published in the UK by Penguin and in the US by HarperCollins.
Annie Summerlee’s journey to successful publication is a Litopian dream… and it’s encouraging to remember that dreams do come true! And of course, it’s also important to recognize all the hard work that turns a dream into reality.
We’re delighted to announce that Annie will be our live special guest on Litopia’s Book Club this Saturday.
Come along and meet Annie live, and hear about her journey to success. Starting at 8 p.m UK time (other times below), the author will discuss the journey to publication with this work, from taking in critiques at Litopia until the book signing parties after publication.
As with all Book Club meetings, the Zoom gathering is free and open to everyone who wishes to attend.
As with any Book Club meeting, having read the book is not required before attendance, though you do get more out of the experience if you have read. Please mark your calendars: this promises to be a fascinating evening!
