Ever wondered how an Australian novel ends up on bookshelves in France, Korea or the US or how a book becomes a film or TV series? Join local literary agent Nerrilee Weir of Bold Type Agency for a behind-the-scenes look at the world of foreign rights, international book fairs, and book-to-screen deals.
During her 24 years at Penguin Random House and now three years at her own agency, Nerrilee has worked with authors including Benjamin Stevenson, Madeleine Gray, Chris Hammer and Candice Fox, helping their stories reach readers and audiences around the world. Drawing on her nearly 30 years’ experience representing Australian adult and children’s authors worldwide, Nerrilee will share behind-the-scenes insights into how stories find global audiences, what’s trending right now in international publishing and what really happens at a book fair.
Perfect for readers, writers, and anyone curious about what happens beyond the library and bookstore shelves.
