Join us at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, November 2, 2013, for an informal afternoon with a panel made up of several of our group's published authors. Ask them anything!We all have questions about the writing process, how to get published, how to find an agent, why a writer might choose traditional/epublishing/print-on-demand, where to find cover artists for your ebooks, how to conduct a blog book tour, topics for your own blog, marketing, what it means to be within a certain sub-genre, whether contests/conferences help you get published...Jot down your questions between now and then, and we'll ask them anything and everything.
