Publishing Pathways: Nonfiction * - Genre Breakout Session

About this event

Working with their peers, writers will discuss ways to make their work marketable, whether it is to agents, publishers or readers. Writers will practice talking about their work succinctly. The discussion will be moderated by a writer who has gone through the publishing process in the genre. This session will also allow writers to meet make connections with other writers.
