The Bookseller – News – Darley Anderson sheds light on publishing world with virtual open week
The Darley Anderson Agency will be hosting a virtual open week at the end of June with Twitter Q&As, pitch contests, Instagram Lives and helpful blog content.
Running from 27th June, the agency will welcome aspiring writers, readers and book fans to give them a glimpse of life at a commercial literary agency through a variety of online events.
The agency said it wanted to shed light on the publishing process, from submission to publication and everything in between, talking all things “entertainment fiction”.
A spokesperson said: “In lockdown and over the pandemic we all lost the chance to see people in-person and had our physical sense of community taken away. However, it also gave us the opportunity to connect in unprecedented ways online and with a much larger international community.
“The team at the agency are rightly saying we care about our authors – present and future – and their readers, so how can we open our platforms to connect with everyone in an accessible way? This initiative is to do just that. The open week is about writers, readers and fans of our incredible authors. So we want to say hello. Any questions or interests or the opportunity to pitch to our agents—we are here.”
Full details and a schedule will be shared on the agency website, its blog and via the agency Twitter and Instagram accounts using the hashtag #DAOpenWeek.
