So You Want to be a Published Author?

Do you think you have a good book idea? Great! Now what? In this Q&A on navigating your entry into book publishing, literary agent and founder of Compass Talent, Heather Schroder, will walk you through the process of turning your idea into an actual book. Heather will go over topics like: What goes into a book proposal and why do you need to write one? What is a literary agent's role and how do you get one? Do book editors really even edit? What doors can publishing a book open? Heather will share her vast knowledge of the publishing business and answer all these questions and more! 


For those of you who are able to join the webinar, you will have the opportunity to attend a 30-minute follow-up session a few weeks later. In this special bonus webinar led by Heather, you will be paired up and put into breakout rooms where you will workshop each other’s book ideas and/or book proposals. This will be a chance to experience hands-on practice and give each other constructive feedback, so you won’t want to miss it!
