How to get your book published

Are you starting to think about how to get your manuscript published, but have no idea where to start? Author and publisher William Burleson will walk you through the ins and outs of the mysterious world of publishing. We will discuss differences between the Big Five publishers, various-sized small presses, university and specialty presses, and self-publishing and assisted self-publishing options. Together we’ll hash out the pros and cons of each and how not to make choices that will haunt you forever. Finally, there will be plenty of time for Q&A to discuss how to make a plan toward achieving your own individual goals. This program is funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
