Gathering playbacks
Listening to past gatherings
You may be aware that I host online events aimed at helping aspiring writers find a way to their best words, approach gatekeepers and hopefully finding a route to publication, whether here on Substack or in the world of books and magazines.
I’ve had many requests to make recordings of these events available to listen again, and I’ve uploaded the first 3, free to access for paid subscribers. Others will follow.
I won’t double up writing about their content here - just click below and away you go.
I hope you enjoy them and find them useful.
From Pitch to Publication: with Rowan Yapp
If you are hoping to get a book published, this conversation (along with a parallel gathering with Chris Young) should do so much to help you navigate what can seem like a mountain without a map. I’m delighted to have been joined by Rowan Yapp, Head of Lifestyle at Bloomsbury, for a live zoom conversation.

Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing the Writing Process
Cathy is not only a wonderful writer of fiction and memoir (eg The Last Act of Love), she’s also a brilliant, insightful teacher and mentor. She will be joining us to talk about the writing process, the value of distinct stages of regurgitation and crafting, dealing with imposter syndrome and the jury on your shoulder, and much more.
Mark, you legend! I was so sad to have missed your chat with Cathy - so looking forward to listening later 👍
These have been so useful! Cathy’s felt like a good therapy session! 😂
