The Road to Publication

The road to publication is rarely easy, but whether yours is straight, windy or convoluted, author Sandy Curtis will give you the tools to navigate your publication journey.

Sandy will reveal what editors and publishers expect and how to meet those expectations, as well as sharing avenues to publication that writers don’t always consider.

This event is for anyone aged 14 years or older.
