Self-publishing has never been easier (or more respectable), small presses abound, yet the gold standard for many writers is still the Big 6 publishing deal. What does publishing with a Big 6 house get you that no other platform can?
On Thursday, May 10, 2012, at 7:00 pm a very special Writing Matters panel will take place at Watchung booksellers, seeking answers to this question. Our panelists include:
• Greer Hendricks, Vice President and Senior Editor at Simon & Schuster
• Sarah Pekkanen, bestselling author of These Girls, The Opposite of Me, & Skipping a Beat
• Randy Susan Meyers, bestselling author of The Murderer’s Daughters
• Peter Golden, debut author of Comeback Love
• Julie Schoerke, president and founder of JKS Communications, an independent publicity firm
The panelists will explore such topics as:
• What editors at the major houses are looking for today
• What it’s like to publish with a major versus a smaller press or on your own
• What to do after the offer so that your book stands its best chance of success
Whether you’re an
• emerging writer
• published author who would like to reach a wider audience
• student of these tremendous publishing times
• fan of great fiction
This night will hold something for you. Join us for some time spent with almost all that is good in life: books, food, wine, and rousing conversation!
