Master Class 9: Inside The Publisher’s Brain

WHEN: November 2, Thursday

REGISTER: Here.

Why do publishers say “yes” or “no”?

There IS an answer to this. 

• What are their rejection letters telling you, really?

• Understand the institutional memory of publishing and you’ll know how they think

• The forensics of examining comparative titles and how authors can leverage them

Authors are weary of being infantilized. They want to know how their work is surveyed. This is NOT byzantine or esoteric knowledge; it’s something that should be understood by everyone at a negotiating table.

Yes, you have to step outside your ego, but every writer has experience in that. Publishing savoir faire is to the writers’ advantage and long-term prognostication. Let’s dig in! I’ll interview you before the session so I know what you’re focused on.
