Many aspiring writers dream of seeing their words in print (or on the screen of an e-reader). But navigating the world of genre publishing can be deeply intimidating for those just starting out. This seminar will provide an overview of what the business of publishing looks like in the 21st century. We’ll talk about traditional publishing versus self-publishing, working with agents, scams to watch out for, and more—so you can pursue your publication goals with confidence!
