I'm surprised by the level of growth I've seen since becoming an organizer, it's given me more confidence in my abilities.

The only downside to this class was that the discussion got focused on agents, traditional publishers, and self-publishing, so we didn't cover some of the other topics on the handout (literary lawyers, the contract, etc). But what we did cover is what people have the most questions about, and I have the handout to further research topics I didn't know about, such as the function of acquisition editors. There is still the 2nd part to this class topic, too.
