Pitfalls of Publishing


Writing & Publishing -
Fall 26/Winter 27

Once your manuscript is finished, comes the next and often hardest step, getting your work published. This course will outline the various options available from writing query letters to agents and publishers to signing on with self-publishing companies like Ingram-Sparks. The instructor will provide an overview of the industry today and give her recommendations as to how best to negotiate this ever-changing field and avoid the expensive mistakes many first-time authors make. Information about AI scams targeting writers will also be discussed.
