#GettingPublished: Approaching Literary Agents & Independent Publishers

In this #GettingPublished workshop, we'll work through the actual process of submission and getting published. This is what writers most need to know about yourself, your book and the industry to have your book seen properly by agents and publishers. I've worked in publishing and writing since 2004, and yes, a lot has changed over the years, but many things about publishing are eternal.

We will discuss each element as a group and in pairs too. WHAT TO BRING TO THIS WRITING WORKSHOP: I'd like you to bring a list of agents or publishers (4-6 ideally) who you've identified as right for your work.
