Updated – February Lunch and Learn – So You Wrote a Novel…Now What?
Did you know that 80 percent of the United States population admits that they would like to write and publish a book in their lifetime? That’s a significant number. So why don’t more people accomplish this goal?
Aside from the daunting task of writing a book, finding a publisher who is willing to pick up and sell a manuscript is intimidating and not at all an easy road to travel. There are query letters to send out, proposals to write, edits to make and endless rejection letters to sift through. It can be entirely overwhelming.
Join the St. Louis Bloggers Guild on Saturday, Feburary 13, as we discuss ways to begin the journey towards publication. Whether you’ve already got a completed manuscript, or you just have an idea, please feel free to join us as we discuss the ins and outs of acquiring a publisher, from query’s to proposal’s.
I will be leading the discussion and sharing the experience I’ve gleaned over the years as I’ve sought publication for my own works, as well as serving as a consultant for others who are looking to publish. It will be an open discussion, as I would like to hear from others who have also had success in the area of publication. The hope is that you will all walk away feeling encouraged and driven to keep fighting for your story until you ultimately have a hard copy of it in your hands.
Details and time will be announced early next week so check back for more information.
*Update* The Lunch and Learn will be held on Saturday, Feburary 13 from 11:00-12:00 at The Stone Spiral Cafe in Maplewood. Can’t wait to see you all there.
