The Ins and Outs of the Publishing World 2.0

We had fantastic reviews of our first publishing workshop, but the weekend we held it (early December) was difficult for many. Due to popular request, we’re holding it again.  We already have several people committed, so sign up while there is still room.  Here are the details:

INS and OUTS of the PUBLISHING WORLD

A One-day Workshop

Saturday, February 20, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

at Another Read Through, 3932 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR 97227

 

  • You’ve completed your novel or memoir, or
  • It’s almost there, and
  • You’d like to send it out into the great world

You’re looking for guidance – we can help! Our workshop will address:

  1. Overview of the submission process. When should you start submitting? Should you seek an agent or go directly to a publisher? What’s the procedure for finding an agent or publisher? We’ll take you through the steps.
  1. Writing a query letter. The query letter is your gateway to publication whether you use an agent or submit directly to a publisher . We’ll discuss how to describe your book and yourself in an irresistible way. We’ll also touch on the book proposal, for nonfiction projects.
  1. Who are the publishers? The big five encompass numerous divisions and imprints, and these are most of the names you’ve heard of. But there’s more – a whole universe of small presses. We’ll provide a map with annotations to help you navigate this confusing realm.
  1. Self-publishing – is this a better option? Angela Sanders, special guest and expert in the field, will reveal all. How much work does it take? What are the costs and benefits? Should you roll the dice and do it yourself?
  1. You have a contract! Can you negotiate with an agent or a publisher who sends you a standard contract? We’ll show you some things to look for.
  1. Publicity. So much is up to you, alas. Do you have a platform? A brand? Should you hire a publicist? We can help you figure it all out.

The cost: $97, including lunch.                                                LetsGoWrite image
