What’s the next step when you’ve written your masterpiece? Jen Frankel will de-mystify the path a piece of writing takes on its journey from your hands to a reader’s. 

What are the “Big Five”? How does the traditional publishing industry work, and who are the players? What are the alternatives to a traditional publisher? 
 Going deeper, Jen will ask how do you find a publisher that might be interested in your work? And what are the options available if you want to jump-start the process by self-publishing? 
 
By polling the audience at the start of her presentation, Jen will get an idea of the level of writing most of them are currently functioning at, and the best sections of her presentation to focus on. By leaving lots of room for Q&A, Jen can help attendees learn how to answer other questions they have on their own by pointing them toward online and in-person resources, and otherwise taking the fear out of one of the scariest parts of wanting to write: getting your work out into the world.
