One of the joys of having written a book about the publishing process is gaining the opportunity to step out of the pages and help people in person. I wrote the book to advise writers who have a manuscript (or maybe at this point, just an idea) and are asking, “Now what?” My book lays out the pathway to publication. And while I hope lots of writers find help in the pages, I also know that sometimes coming to a gathering to discuss the process and get answers to their questions is even more helpful.

So I’m offering up just that. I’d love to meet your writers group, come and hang with you at one of your meetings, share some of what is in the book, and do a brief workshop to help writers get started.

The workshop will walk writers through the basic questions that publishers want to know — whether you’ve got a book idea or an article idea. I’ll help the writers in your group articulate the focus of their writing and make a plan to move forward.

I’m happy to come and do a one-hour session, or even a couple of hours. Let me know where your group is at, the questions, they have, and the type of advice that would best help them. If you’re beyond my driving distance, I can set up a Zoom call for as long as you need.

Contact me for availability and charges. I promise, I’m very affordable! We’ll work together.

Let me help take the mystery out of the publication process. Let me help the writers in your group take their first steps on the pathway to publication.
