In this 3-hour class, a literary agent and a small-press publisher will discuss how they evaluate manuscripts. What do publishing professionals mean by “marketability”? As a writer, how can you improve your odds, in every stage of the process? What is and isn’t necessary for a book to reach publication? How can you learn to evaluate your own manuscript like a pro? Bring a synopsis or query letter and plenty of questions. We’re ready to tell all! Accessibility: Please submit this request form at least two to three weeks in advance if you have any accessibility requests for this class. This class takes place in-person, at the Loft at Open Book. Please see the Loft’s website for the most up to date information about the Loft’s COVID policies.
I love that we're all spread across the planet--but at least some of you are in my general part of the world? I think? (Minneapolis)
If that's you, come to Wordplay on Saturday! I'll be on a panel about bodies at 10:30am, talking to Said Shaiye, and moderated by Kate Vogl. I know it will be good. And then I'm going to stick around to watch some truly fabulous later events.
