10 Elements Of A Saleable Novel Today Ondemand Webinar |
"ABOUT THE WEBINAR Many writers are in the dark when it comes to the question of what makes one novel saleable and another a non-starter in today’s complex publishing arena. What makes agents and editors say “no” to so many submissions and “yes” to just a few? Is there a specific formula? Are the criteria different today from 10, 20, or 50 years ago? What affect does the rise of e-publishing have on how novels are published, selected, and promoted? In the end, does it just come down to quality, or are there other forces at work? In this webinar, Jim McCarthy answers these questions and more—shedding light on the inner workings of the often baffling publishing process, insight into the kinds of stories agents and publishers are seeking, and commentary on the principles every writer must be aware of to succeed in a dynamic and exciting time of change in the publishing world.
