Panel Discussion: So You've Finished Your Book... Now What?

A panel of local published authors — Richard Finn, Ed Perratore, and Samantha Talbot — will share stories and advice on navigating and managing the byzantine, confusing, frustrating, and intimidating publishing industry to successfully get your book out to the public.

Presentation topics will include submitting manuscripts, finding an agent, self-publishing, and marketing and self-promotion, plus a Q&A at the end.

Free and open to all! No registration required.
