Join us as literary agent Sara Megibow unpacks what actually drives profit potential in traditional publishing. Distribution, formats, subsidiary rights, and publicity all play a role into how many books ultimately reach readers and each of these is heavily influenced by genre and platform. A debut romantasy and a nonfiction picture book have very different pathways, for example.

There will be plenty of time for Q&A so please bring questions.

Industry professionals: authors, agents, editors, etc. facilitate these events. Price points are low and attendance is high, anywhere from 50-200+ attendees. Writing craft and industry engagement are explored. *REPLAYS are made available for all registrants 2 business days after the event and are available for a limited time.*
