Online via Zoom
Do you have burning questions about publishing you’d like answered by pros? Would you like to learn more about the current state of the publishing industry, mistakes to avoid when submitting your work, the difference between traditional and independent publishers, and what author success can look like today?
Arts Escape is hosting a panel featuring literary agent Barbara Clark; traditionally published author Alena Dillon; and Woodhall Press executive editor Chris Madden.
Attendees will hear from each of the panelists about their slice of the publishing pie and what it takes to succeed in today’s environment. A Q&A session will follow the presentations, so bring those burning questions.
