Clearing the Mist: Alternative Paths to Publication
The path from emerging writer to published author can be mysterious and intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. In this lively panel discussion, indie and self-published writers and representatives from small- to mid-sized presses will discuss the publishing journey for those who prefer the path less traveled. Attendees will learn about viable alternatives to Big Five publishing houses and get candid answers to common publishing questions. After the panel discussion, attendees can network and connect with other debut and seasoned writers, booksellers and publishing professionals; learn more about local resources, opportunities, and organizations; and enjoy a truly immersive literary experience.
