EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT PUBLISHING (BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK) — 2-Hour In-Person Class

Two bestselling authors tackle myths and misconceptions about publishing. What does BookTok and social media get wrong about publishing? (Lots.) Are there any shortcuts? (A few.) Do I need an MFA? (No.) Do I need an agent? (Maybe.) Should I submit my manuscript to publishers or just self-publish? (Depends!) Do you have to marry another writer? (No, but maybe you should!) Submit your questions in advance or bring them to class for a lively discussion.
