With more publishing options than ever before—from traditional houses to hybrid and self-publishing—today’s writers face exciting possibilities and real strategic decisions that can be difficult to navigate. Paths to Publishing brings writers behind the scenes for a candid, practical conversation about what it takes to actually get published in today’s evolving literary landscape.
Join the Arts & Business Council and The Porch at Parnassus Books for our annually anticipated publishing panel, where industry outsiders break down the benefits, challenges, and realities of different publishing paths. From querying agents to working with editors, navigating contracts, and building a sustainable writing career, this discussion offers clear-eyed insight for writers at every stage who want to move forward with intention.
Attendees will hear directly from professionals working across the publishing ecosystem and have the opportunity to ask the questions writers are grappling with right now–no gatekeeping, no jargon, just honest perspective and actionable guidance.
The panel features authors Allison Trowbridge and Frank Ewert, literary agent Margaret Riley King, editor Ami McConnell and business affairs counsel Mike Bzozowksi.
