So, you’re writing a novel—congrats! But…what now? If it’s good, it will find a home, and if it doesn’t, that must mean it’s bad, right? Thankfully, no. Writing is an art, but publishing is a business, so how do we prepare our work (and ourselves) for that phase?
Join former fiction acquisitions editor Erin Adair-Hodges in a discussion about the book acquisition and publishing process, all with an eye on getting your book an agent and eventual offer. This course features revision exercises, pitch writing feedback, polishing your hook, clarification on queries, and more. By the end, each writer will have a strategic plan for the post-writing phase of their novel’s journey.
