How to succeed?

Participants: Miha Mazzini, Sara Belin
Moderator: Sebastian Guggolz

Description:

What can authors themselves do, for their work to find its way abroad and turn into a hit? Sara Belin (pseudonym) is a Slovenian author, who has been living in Berlin for many years and who writes in English. Her work is sold on Amazon. Miha Mazzini is an author of award-winning novels and short stories, a director and also a scriptwriter. His short stories have been, among other things, published and awarded in the USA. These two authors will hold a conversation with the publisher Sebastian Guggolz (Gugolz Verlag and S. Fischer Verlag) about the possibility of success abroad, what can be contributed by the authors themselves and what part the agents and publishers play in this. The conversation will be held in English.
