Wildlife Publishing: An Insider's View

A chance to meet two of the most influential wildlife publishers in the world who will make individual presentations followed by a panel discussion and an audience Q&A.

How do publishers find their photographers and writers? How should you pitch an idea? Why is wildlife publishing in the print media proving so resilient? This event is a chance to have your questions answered and
gain an insight into some of the stories behind the books. A chance to meet two of the most influential wildlife publishers in the world who will make individual presentations followed by a panel discussion and an audience Q&A.
