Publishing Fundamentals for Writers – A Workshop with Bruce Walsh

A veteran of Canada’s book industry, Bruce Walsh will demystify how the publishing process works, from acquisitions to the finished product to how books get into the market.
He will explain the importance of the pitch letter in finding a publisher, why hitting deadlines is paramount to successful publishing, and the dual roles of marketing and author input in creating a bestseller.
Bruce will also discuss his thoughts on literary agents—and how to find a publisher without them—in a nuts and bolts seminar on the arcane world of book publishing.
