Writer in Residence Workshop: Tips to “Making It” in Publishing

Tips to “Making It” in Publishing

The financial and emotional reality of becoming an author is full of unexpected elements that can sometimes make the dream seem hopeless. But with the right attitude, proper knowledge of the industry, and the ability to come up with a comprehensive plan, you can come to feel in control of your growing career, even when selling something feels impossible. 

Note: Program has been moved to the PC LAB because of construction.

Note: 'Tips to Making it in Publishing' is one workshop in a series of Writer in Residence Workshops. Each workshop stands alone, and you are not required to attend all of them. Take a look at all the other workshops here:

• The Basics of Storytelling and How to Complete a Novel: A Young Adult Workshop
• The Ins and Outs of Outlining a Novel
• How to Keep Your Creativity Cycle from Drying Up: Make the most of the juice you’ve got!
