How to Do Things: Publishing 101
What does it take to get your book from your desk onto a bookstore shelf?
USA Today bestseller Kimberly Lang explains the basics of the business, including:
· Publishing models
· What agents actually do
· How to protect yourself from scam artists
Kimberly Lang is the bestselling and award-winning author of over a dozen books, and has taught workshops on the craft of writing and business of publishing across the Southeast.
Note from Kimberly: I am a partner with the Food Bank of North Alabama to help them in their goal of ending hunger. I’m very excited to be working with this great organization. As part of that effort, I'm asking attendees to bring a canned food donation for the Food Bank. Thanks for your generosity!
