"I've written a book - what next?" (Yr 9)
A thousand new book titles are on sale in Australia every week, so how do you make sure that yours is one of them and that you don't get flattened in the rush as the authors and book buyers charge from opposite directions? What if you can't write like JK Rowling - will you still get published?

Leading Australian publisher Mark Macleod and bestselling author Andrew Daddo discuss the publishing process, offer you some useful advice and answer your questions.
