Are you finally ready to get your book out to your readers? But how will you accomplish that? In this workshop, we will go step by step through the “submit or self-publish” decision process. We will discuss how, to paraphrase the words of Seneca, no wind is a good wind unless you know which harbor you seek. With all the options now available, which publishing route is most likely to bring you personal satisfaction and success? If you're considering the traditional route, you will find out which strategies might maximize your chance of leapfrogging the slush pile and how to locate and identify the agents and publishers you should target. If self-publishing seems right for you, we will cover what self-publishing actually entails, flag key landmines to avoid, and assess the rewards that may be reaped from this exploding sector of the industry. Come with your questions and leave with a decision tree and some useful handouts. This course will include group discussion and exercises, as well as question-and-answer time to give you an insider’s peek at the publishing industry.
