Chaired by Write On! Editor, storyteller, and poet Madeleine F. White, this dynamic conversation brings together Arsim Shillova, CEO and founder of Libraro and publishing industry leader David Roche, Chair of Libraro and the London Book Fair. Together, they explore how technology is opening doors and eyes, across the publishing landscape in a candid and practical discussion.

This session is a rallying call for new writer’s voices. If you’re a writer with a story to tell, Visibility Matters is your gateway to understanding how to be seen, supported and successful in the publishing industry.

Many of us have a story to tell and writing it is difficult enough. But when it comes to being seen by the people who can publish your work and how they help your words reach the people who matter – your readers – it’s a journey in itself.

What is Libraro?

Libraro is a community-driven platform that democratises the literary world, empowering writers to share their stories securely, readers to influence what gets published, and industry professionals to discover tomorrow’s bestsellers.

Through crowd reading, they connect passionate storytellers with engaged readers and forward-thinking publishers, ensuring every story has the chance to find its perfect audience and reach its full potential.
