📚 Q&A: How Writers & Readers Can Revolutionalise Book Publishing w/ Libraro
​The publishing industry is notoriously difficult to break into.
​In the UK alone, there are over 1 million manuscripts sent to 400 literary agents every year, and only 1% of those ever get published. As a result, thousands of talented writers never get a chance to share their stories.
​Even when a book is published, 98% of those books never make a return, creating a big problem for the publishing industry, as well as authors.
​What if there was a better way?
​Join us for a conversation with Arsim Shillova, co-founder and CEO of Libraro, about how Libraro aims to revolutionize how authors are discovered, how book publishing works, and how writers in the LWS community can be a part of this.
​​**Held immediately following our Writers’ Hour ET session, in the same room.**
​About Arsim Shillova
​A few years ago, Arsim Shillova tried to get a book he'd written published through the traditional way of sending it to a literary agent. To his disappointment, he never got a response. Disheartened after seeing first-hand what it takes to get a book published, Arsim set out to create Libraro – the world's first digital literary agency that aims to help new talented authors find a home and readership for their books.
​About Libraro
​Libraro is the world's first digital literary agent that is creating a decentralized, blockchain-powered platform to discover new talented authors and offer publishing houses an opportunity to discover fresh and original content. Their platform will allow writers to connect directly with readers, build a fan base, and gain valuable insights before the book is published.
