London Book Fair 2025
This year, the Cornerstones team will be attending agent meetings at London Book Fair as part of our scouting programme. Editorial Director, Monica Chakraverty, will be representing authors and manuscripts from our scouting programme to pitch to agents on their behalf.
The office will remain open next week during LBF on a skeleton staff. We appreciate your patience during this busy time of year.
On March 14th, Cornerstones is delighted to join the University of Buckingham Press and leading self-publishing company, New Generation Publishing, at their launch of the Future Self-Publishing Forum.
At 1.30-2.15pm next Friday, our Founding Director, Helen Corner-Bryant, will be taking a Q&A on writing, editing, how to get an agent or work with a publisher and the benefits of self-publishing.
You can find more information here; there are still some tickets available.
