Explore all the traditional publishing options, from Big 5 to small press!
Explore all the traditional publishing options available to you to determine if this publishing path is right for you. We begin by discussing our goals for publishing a book, then evaluate our assets. We then look at the traditional publishing paths (Big 5, medium, small press, academic) and discuss what you need to succeed on this path. We also look at resources for finding agents and publishers, which will be essential to landing a traditional book deal. By the end of the class, attendees will know what to expect if they pursue a traditional book publisher.
