The Business of Books In this workshop, I will lead you through the trajectory of selling your book to a publisher. We will touch on many topics including the differences between Traditional and Self-publishing, editor interests and wish lists, and how market adjustments influence when and where you can sell your manuscript. I’ll also guide you through the basics of what to expect from an agency agreement or a publishing contract, highlighting red flags and tricky clauses you should keep watch out for. The workshop will end with a hearty Q+A segment, so bring your burning questions!
