Almost every town has a writing group, some going back over 80 years. You’ve started your book, joined a critique group, are refining your work and closing in on the finish of your manuscript. What next? How do you get your book out there, and what tools do other area writers use to succeed? Hear five award-winners reveal how they developed their markets, where they go to promote their books, what they do online that works, and more.

Many small to medium-size publishers accept direct submissions. Listen to what they are looking for and what they see coming over the next 12 to 18 months. And most important, what genres each publishes and how to get your manuscript in front of them. Panel participants are publishers, not hybrids whose publishing opportunities cost you money.
