“This is the most hopeful time in a generation to be a new writer.” — Alexis Glynn Latner
Aspiring authors face a confounding situation. There are many paths to publication— traditional New York publishing; independent presses and co-ops; partner publishing with companies that profit from author services, not book sales; and self-publishing, in which some authors are finding great success. Each of these pathways holds pitfalls for the unwary new writer. If you have a book you hope to have published, this course helps you decide which avenue to pursue. This class is also a fit for anyone interested in the dramatic evolution of publishing and the potential it holds for current and aspiring writers. The class includes roundtable discussions of various publishing projects, including those of class participants, and demonstrations of essential electronic tools. You do not need to have a manuscript in progress or completed to participate.
