In this workshop:
Developing a career as a hybrid author superstar: A romance editor’s inside scoop
With the meteoric rise of self-publishing in recent years as an attractive and often viable option for authors, writers face many decisions in pursuing publication of their book. Which route will yield the greatest success? What are the advantages and disadvantages of self-publishing and traditional publishing — and can a writer be successful in both streams? How do brand building and social media come into play? Don’t miss the opportunity to spend the day with a seasoned romance editor to explore these questions and learn more about hybrid publishing and how it might be the right choice for your writing career. Participants will also gain practical information and insider tips on everything from how to get your manuscript noticed by an editor — from pitching to preparing a query letter, to determining which editor to approach — to what happens to your book after you’ve signed that contract!
