August 12th – From Pen to Print – How to Have Your Book Published 2:00 to 4:00 at the Grand Victorian
International literary agents, Sandra Pareja (Casanova and Lynch) and Emma Price (Silvia Bastos) lead a workshop on the steps writers must take upon completing a work. From the editing process to the day your book comes out in print, there are a thousand steps. Do publishers read the manucripts you send them? Should you work with an agent? How do you find an agent? As a new writer, how do you grab a publisher’s attention?
Join us for refreshments and conversation at the Grand Victorian.
Participation in the workshop is free.
