You’ve done the thing—You’ve written a book!! Congrats yay hooray! Now the only thing left to do is publish it.
How hard can it be, right?
Join Mackenzi Lee the New York Times-bestselling author of The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, for a friendly and detailed guide to navigating the publishing industry! Over the course of our six week, two hour sessions via zoom, we will discuss all the things about publishing a book and the unique industry surrounding it that not only do you not know, but you don’t even know you don’t know, such as…
How do I get an agent and a book deal?
How do I read my contract?
What does a publicist do?
What are the benefits of self publishing versus traditional publishing?
What’s a pre-empt? What are foreign rights?
Why do some books have multiple covers? Why do some only come out in paperback? Who decides if a book gets sprayed edges or a special edition?
Am I allowed to say no to changes my editor suggests?
AND SO MANY MORE!
Participants of all experience levels are invited to join the course. As long as you’re curious about book publishing, you’re welcome to join us!
