Publishing Basics for Genre Fiction Writers
Writing and publishing fiction in the romance, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, horror, westerns, Young Adult or children’s book genres involves many of the same considerations as working in any type of fiction, but there are specific challenges and opportunities distinct to those genres. This workshop will outline the basics of bringing your manuscript through the whole publishing process, from writing and editing to exploring options for publication and marketing, geared towards genre fiction writers.
