I’m hosting a workshop on July 27th at the Storyteller’s Cottage in Simsbury. Great venue and lots of information. Learn about tools to help prepare a manuscript for publication and then navigate the process of marketing a book after publication.

This workshop presents writers with the tools to prepare a manuscript for publication and then navigate the process of marketing a book after publication. Come learn from a real published author!
Topics include:
  • The Right Fit: Opportunities on websites such as Submittable, preparing manuscripts, and deciding between a traditional publisher, and indie publisher or self-publishing.
  • The Wait: Once accepted, what usually happens and how to navigate the process of publication. What to expect from publishing companies and editors. Revising and editing.
  • After publication: A marketing platform is vital these days. We will take a look at some of the most popular ways authors market their books from traditional bookstore signings to blogs, to Instagram.

From Ideas to Instagram! Saturday, July 27th / 1:00pm – 2:30pm.
