It’s becoming easier to find online takes about the publishing industry, but harder to know what information writers can trust. In this comprehensive session that cuts through the noise, literary agent Vicky Weber unpacks what you really need to know about traditional and indie publishing today.
As both a literary agent and children’s book author, Vicky Weber has a unique inside perspective on how publishing works across the various stages of a book’s creation. During this 90-minute session, she’ll discuss the various paths available to both traditional and indie authors and what factors (beyond the usual pros and cons) you should consider when deciding which is right for you.
You’ll learn the business terms, key players, and timelines that are essential for authors to know as their manuscript moves through production and onto the bookshelf. Equally importantly, you’ll also learn what efforts really matter (and which ones don’t) when you’re trying to break in. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by publishing advice that seems to contradict itself or lack nuance, this session will get to the heart of what you need to know.
