Getting published is all about stepping stones. Writing a manuscript. Polishing it. Submitting it to agents. And then, the hard work starts… Author GD Wright and editor Anna Nightingale talk you through the process of getting published, from rough draft to book on the shelves. 

Former Thanet police officer GD Wright published his debut crime fiction novel After the Storm in 2024 through HarperCollins imprint Avon. The follow-up Into the Fire, again set in the fictional seaside town of Beachbrook, arrived earlier this year.  

Anna Nightingale is Commissioning Editor at HarperCollins imprint Avon. She has previously worked at Bloomsbury’s Head of Zeus and Penguin’s Transworld. She works with authors across the commercial fiction spectrum, from psychological thrillers to romantic comedies.
