For editors who may be interested in crossing the floor to become authors, this webinar will walk you through the process from manuscript submission (including a brief overview of book proposal development) through to the editing process (substantive and copy) from the author side as well as the marketing required after your book is published. Based on the author’s first experience publishing her non-fiction book The Feisty Freelancer with a traditional publisher, the webinar will pass along lessons learned and tips for success.
