Learn how to turn your book idea into a proposal and how to approach agents and publishers to see your ideas get published. In this workshop, students will learn how to write a book proposal, how to format a manuscript, how to find the right publishers, and how to write cover letters and pitches and get feedback and results. I am a hands-on instructor who will guide you and is always happy to answer questions, and provide insight, support, and feedback. If you have an idea for a book, or have already written a fiction or nonfiction book, this workshop will be your guide into the world of publishing.
