 Breaking Into Publishing

How a First Time Author Can Get Into Print & On the Shelves

Length: 3 hrs 00 mins
Intermission: None
Seating: General Admission
You choose your seats when you get to the theater.

in collaboration with Gallatin Writing Program & Tisch East Alumni Council

Maybe you have a great idea for a non-fiction proposal or you've already written your memoir. Maybe you're halfway through that mystery novel or you want to translate your special skills into a self-help manual. Regardless of the content, you want to see your work published and on the shelves.

This panel, comprised of a book agent, an editor and three published authors will answer your questions about breaking into "old-school publishing" – should you try to sell a book off a pitch or a proposal or should you finish the entire manuscript before submitting? Do you need an agent? What's a "platform" and why is it essential? Are six-figure advances a thing of the past? How can an unknown author be taken seriously by publishers? Why isn't great writing enough?
