Publishing Your First Novel
Stories from the front line
The storytelling instinct got you through three quarters of writing your first novel. By the end, however, all that keeps you going is a lot of coffee and visions of your ultra-glamorous book party, that Los Angeles magazine profile, and that rave in the New York Times Book Review. We don't want to burst your bubble, but we also don't want you to be unprepared. Whether you've just written a novel, are at various phases of completion of a novel, or have been thinking about writing one for a while, learn how to present your novel to agents, negotiate a deal, know when to say yes and when to say no, and optimize your negotiations to get maximum publicity. Since publishing houses so rarely give money for book parties and advertising these days, you'll also learn various do-it-yourself ways of promoting your book and yourself via readings and guerilla marketing.Join this panel of authors who have been there for a no-holds-barred look at what to expect from your publisher, agent, publicist, and why you may have to hustle your own book if you want it reviewed. Speakers include:
ScheduleDiscussion and Q&A - 7-8:30 p.m.Complimentary cocktails - 8:30-9 p.m.
