Build to a Book Deal: Refine Your Submission Process
In-person, November 9th, 2024, 10AM - 1PM.
Workshop description You have in you a novel or short story collection. You might have work ready to submit. In this workshop, we will explore publishing: genre; money; queries; submission, rejection and rebound; and tools for finding the best places for your work. Then we look at approaching agents (do you need one?) and publishers for a book deal. Students will leave understanding traditional publishing, their evolving place in the industry, and with a query letter and a system for tracking submissions.
