Replay: Brooke Warner shares Five Things She's Learned about What It Takes to Get Published
Check out the first five minutes of her recent class.
"Writers and authors have a hard time accessing the information they need because the industry is famously opaque and complex and subjective. If you ask five people for advice, you’ll get five different answers. Plus, publishing has been profoundly disrupted in recent years, in ways that writers welcome and find challenging… This class is about giving you a bird’s eye view of an industry you are a part of already if you’re an author (or intend to be). The more you know, the more you grow."
– Brooke Warner, Five Things I’ve Learned about What It Takes to Get Published
