Program: Going from Idea to Publication: Getting Your Fiction and Non-Fiction Published
Do you want to expand your writing beyond technical writing? Do you dream of publishing a novel, children¹s book or magazine article? Do you have questions about the publishing process? This presentation, lead by professional freelance writer and Northern Colorado Writers director, Kerrie Flanagan, will introduce you to the world of publishing. She will talk about the publishing process, share tips on catching editors/agents attention, discuss writing resources and the biggest hurdle for most writers---attitude.
