Nick Harkaway, author of The Gone-Away World, will be on the panel discussing ‘How to Write a Bestseller’ at the Oxford Literary Festival on the 24th March 2010.

From the website:

What truly makes a bestseller? What do agents and publishers look for when they sign a new author? What are the differences between a fiction and a non-fiction bestseller?

Chaired by Barry Turner, editor of The Writer’s Handbook, the definitive guide to getting your book published, these questions and more will be discussed in a lively debate between Clive Bloom, author of Bestsellers, novelist Nick Harkaway, sci-fi fiction author George Mann, Peggy Vance, Publisher at Dorling Kindersley and Michael Alcock, Literary agent at Johnson & Alcock.
