He'll discuss being a traditionally published author with a university press and two New York City publishers, as well as the process of obtaining and working with an agent. He'll outline tips for writing, revising, pitching, manuscript acceptance, publisher edits, pre-publication marketing, and publication itself. Following his presentation, he'll open the floor to questions on any and all aspects of writing, editing, and pursuing publication, with a goal of serving as a resource for writers in the early stages of their creative ventures.
