If you've completed a novel, New York Writers Workshop has a new class
Have you written a novel? Are you thinking about 'next steps'? Today there are more publishing paths than ever--from traditional deals to becoming your own independent publisher.
This fall, Jenny Milchman will be teaching a class for New York Writers Workshop that explores the whole range of publishing options. You will learn what makes a novel ready for publication, and how to ensure that yours is truly ready. A close knit atmosphere of writerly support is a hallmark of NYWW courses.
After 11 years of trying to break in, Jenny recently received an offer on her debut novel. It will be coming out from Ballantine/Random House in early 2013. The experiences she's had along the way will inform this class, as will special guest author appearances by people who have self-published, been traditionally published, and some who have done both.

I've taken a class from the NYWW, and it was instrumental in moving me forward in my writing career. It will be worthwhile, I'm sure.
It is certainly a struggle to publish. Unfortunately I have not been able to connect with a big publisher. However after years of trying, even as I sent my work to various publishers big and small, I decided why not self publish. Then I received an offer to publish with a small firm. Unlike larger firms the company floats no advance and you really have to get that editing down to as publishable as possible. Never the less I am excited about my endeavor and The Coparazzi should be out by Dec. Visit The Coparazzi blog.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Vinnie. I firmly believe the way for a writer to get into publication is through the independent press route. Yes, self-publishing is an option. If that route is chosen, a writer is well advised to find a good editor to help polish the ms to a high level.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting The Coparazzi into print. I am sure the struggle was well worth it in the end, and best of luck to you.
