1:00 – 2:30 pm
Mill Valley Public Library - Creekside Room

This workshop will coach participants to consider what they want from publishing and which of today’s many paths best suits their personally defined success. Because any journey to publication is long, even beginning writers will benefit from learning how to set themselves up early for success, and advanced writers who are ready to submit will benefit from taking away focused and actionable next steps. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the complex but exciting state of today’s publishing industry.
