Finding Your Place in the Big, Scary Publishing Industry

Join us for Library Forum on November 6th at 4:15 in the Pritchard Room! Daniel Groves will be presenting: "The publishing industry is a complicated place for the most successful writers, but how is a newly or unpublished writer supposed to break onto the scene? Unless you’re the next Stephen King, the answer is simple but daunting: lots of time, lots of energy, and lots of patience. In this talk, Daniel Groves—a newly published writer himself who is still working to find his way—discusses what he’s learned in his first few years as a serious writer and which tools he’s found most useful to help get work published."
