Have you finished writing your book and wondered what to do next? Here are a few options to consider:
- Do you try and find a literary agent?
- Do you look for places where can you submit your manuscript to publishers “over the transom”?
- Do you research agents or publishers that are a good match for your book?
- Do you weigh the pros and cons of self-publishing vs. having a “boutique” publisher or mid-sized publisher vs. landing one of the “big five” trade book publishers?
These questions and many more will be answered by our author panelists to help you develop successful strategies for getting published.
