Packed with stories and tips, this fast-paced program is designed to empower and inspire writers of fiction and nonfiction alike. We’ll start with a brief glance at the book business: self-publishing, e-books, and traditional publishing. Then we’ll share ideas to help writers improve their craft, tips for connecting with literary agents and editors, and some thoughts on book promotion.
Other highlights: writing prompts and self-assessments, four-page handout, Q&A, sample edit or review of five pages.
