Hello fellow writers, We’re just a few short weeks away from the biggest event on my calendar all year—the Writer’s Digest Annual Conference. As in past years, this will be a writing summit of sorts, with writers from across the globe converging on New York City, along with many of the most knowledgeable people working in publishing today. If you haven’t yet made your plans to join us, it’s not too late! You can still save money (and ensure your seat) when you register online by August 11. With nearly a century of experience and wisdom guiding our programming, Writer’s Digest has assembled the best program and roster yet—particularly when it comes to giving you an insider’s look at publishing. Take a look at just a few of the sessions during which we’ll pull back the curtain on the business: Publishing 101: Understanding Deals and Contract Terms, with Marisa A. Corvisiero, Esq. Maximizing Your Business as an Author on Amazon, with Jason Kuykendall The Effective Query Letter Workshop, with Janet Reid An Insider’s Guide to the Editing Process for Novels, with Catherine McKenzie There’s something for everyone at the Writer’s Digest Annual Conference, whether you’re interested in craft or business, genre or memoir, traditional publishing or self-publishing. I hope you'll join me and the staff of Writer’s Digest this August 12-14. I know you’ll get so much of out of it, so I’d love to see you there. |
