Making the Transition from Writer to Author

Congratulations—you've completed your manuscript!  Now what? Perhaps you're ready to send your work to an agent, but you don't know where to begin with queries. Or perhaps you've just sold your first book but are looking for advice on what comes next in the publication process. Whitney Scharer will talk about her experiences and answer questions about prepping your manuscript, querying agents, working with an agent vs. working with an editor, and what to do once you get the book deal and your book is out in the world. Please feel free to submit questions in advance to programs@wswriters.org
