Publishing Panel

Are you interested in publishing your novel or memoir, but not sure where to start? Let experts in traditional and non-traditional publishing help you navigate the publishing maze. You will find out what a "platform" is, why it's absolutely necessary and how to build your own. How to get an agent and when to approach a publisher will be discussed and you'll discover the many types of publishing available to authors. This three-hour forum brings together authors and publishing experts in panel discussion. Panelists include Jack Shoemaker from Counterpoint Press, Howard Junker from literary magazine Zyzzyva, literary agent Elise Capron from the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency, writer and Psychology Today blogger Meredith Resnick; Brad Listi, author and founder of The Nervous Breakdown website for writers; novelist Nancy Spiller, author of Entertaining Disasters; novelist Jane Vandenburgh, author of memoir A Pocket History of Sex in the Twentieth Century, novelist Amy Wallen, author of MoonPies and MovieStars, Adam Baer, writer and founding editor-at-large of The Faster Times, and Amy Friedman, syndicated writer and producer of the Tell Me A Story series.
