ABOUT THE CLASS

Learn about the publishing business and the submission process from the agent’s/editor’s viewpoint. Lynn Price, editorial director for Behler Publications, is not only going to cover the basics of what to include in a cover letter, synopsis, biography and promotion plan, she’s also going to answer your questions about:

• What’s a Print On Demand publisher?

• Can a vanity press get my books on store shelves?

• What’s the advantage to going e-book?

• Should I care about distribution?

This fast-paced, two-week look at the publishing world will cover the whole enchilada so writers can become better at their craft and understand how the industry works.

Coming in July 2011– Breaking Things Down Into Threes with Beth Daniels

July 11 – August 6, 2011
Plots require organization– even those written by pantsers. Why? Because all storytelling requires a flow, a smooth transition from one scene to the next. Getting it doesn’t require an outline though. All it requires is a system – a system of thirds. This class is for writers at any point in their writing career from unpublished to midlist.
