Blake friedmann Open Week

Open Week will return in Summer 2024!

Open Week is an annual project dedicated to demystifying publishing and agenting, and supporting writers seeking representation. Our aim is to offer helpful insights into what an agent does, how to navigate the submission process to find an agent, how an author and agent work together, understanding the publication process, earning income as an author through the sale of rights (translation, film & TV, audio and book), and how to get into the agenting or publishing industry. All of our book agents (Isobel Dixon, Juliet Pickering, Kate Burke and Sian Ellis-Martin) along with our Media and Translation Rights colleagues are involved throughout the week, and the team hopes to answer as many questions as possible from writers (published or querying) or anyone wanting to get into the industry.

You can find all of our Open Week blogs, past and present, here - stay tuned to our social media (on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) for giveaways, live #AskAgent sessions and more, using the hashtag #BFLAOpenWeek
