As part of our Oct 19, 2024 event, Sylvia Leatham spoke about the importance of the editing process, her experiences of working on edits with her agent and publisher, and how she learned to see her manuscript from a reader’s point of view.
Sylvia Leatham is a debut author from Dublin. She is represented by Laura Bennett of the Liverpool Literary Agency. She recently signed a two-book deal with digital-first publisher Storm Publishing. Her first book, a near-future romantic comedy, is due out in 2025. Her first novel was shortlisted for The Letter Review and the Watson Little x Indie Novella novel prize in 2023. It was longlisted for the Mslexia novel prize in 2024. The first chapter was also shortlisted in the Retreat West First Chapter competition. She has also co-written a romantic comedy screenplay with her husband, the emerging screenwriter Joe Griffin.
