Eastern PA Webinar: Not a Yes, Not a No—How to Handle an R&R with editor Sally Morgridge
Mar 24, 2026
Online event
Webinar Description: What is a "revise & resubmit" request, and what do you do when you get one from an agent or editor? This path to publication is more common than you might think, but it doesn't always look the same. This webinar will take creators through the ins and outs of R&Rs from all angles—why an author might do one, what risks might occur, how an editor thinks about them, and what the ultimate outcome might look like. You'll be prepared for any scenario involving an R&R! A limited number of PB & MG CRITIQUES available at an additional cost.
