Live Streaming Sessions: Selling and publishing your book

Whether you’ve got a book idea growing inside you or a finished manuscript ready to show to editors, Scott Edelstein will get you started down the path to publication. He’ll look at books and publishers of all types (including e-books), as well as at literary agents, book proposals, advances and royalties, subsidiary rights, and much more. You will leave this session far better equipped to make your way through the often confusing maze of American book publishing—and to give your book its best chance in the marketplace.

A professional writer for almost 40 years, Scott has published 15 books (including The Complete Writer’s Kit) and more than 150 short pieces. His Web site, http://www.helpingwriters.com/, contains lots of free information, inspiration and tools for writers.
