Free (Zoom) Workshop: The Path to a Novel Book Deal
Tuesday, December 14, 2021, 8-9pm EST
Ruth will discuss what it's really like to go on submission with a debut (literary fiction) novel. Tea will be spilled about her experience selling her novel this spring, what to expect on calls with book editors, what writers can do to pique editors' interests, and how to stay sane while on sub. Questions will be answered and resources will be shared! The conversation will focus on the part that happens after you've signed with an agent, but the demystification of this shadowy process may be helpful to novelists in all stages.
