The publishing world can feel like a labyrinth of unwritten rules, goblin kings stealing babies, cryptic lingo, and conflicting advice—but it doesn’t have to be this way. In this candid, eye-opening session, we’ll unpack the myths, decode the jargon, and answer the questions writers are often too afraid to ask. From traditional vs. self-publishing to the truth about agents, advances, and “overnight success,” you’ll learn industry best practices, red flags to watch out for, and how to navigate your path with clarity and confidence.
This class takes place online using Zoom.
