The National Creative Writing Graduate Fair is an annual event for writers aspiring to have their work published, where they can meet with literary agents, attend workshops and panel discussions run by publishing professionals, and meet like-minded writers from the North and beyond.

In this interview, Giles Milburn, literary agent at Madeleine Milburn, describes his role, how he works alongside authors and what he's looking for in submissions. Giles was at NCWGF 2018 as one of the agents paired up for 1-to-1s with delegates.
