Sell Your Book - Or Book Idea - To a Traditional Publisher Like Random House
Do you have a book (or book idea) that you believe has bestseller or high commercial potential? Now is the best time in history to get a traditional publisher like Random House. During this workshop you’ll discover why. You’ll also find out why self-publishing is (in many cases) fool’s gold.
It doesn’t matter if you’re previously published, halfway through your first book, or just getting started… this workshop is for you. It also doesn’t matter if you’re writing nonfiction, fiction, or children’s books. Authors of every genre can use the strategies that will be shared during this event.
By the end of this workshop you’ll understand the only 2 reasons talented authors don’t get published. You’ll be aware of the most publishing misconceptions. You’ll be hip to the latest trends (and scams). And, most important, you’ll know how to get the attention of top literary agents and publishers… so you can get a major book deal.
Getting published isn’t luck, it’s a decision…
