Your book is done. You have an idea you want to look for an agent, that the agent will find a publisher, that the publisher will publish the book. But what are all the steps between? Who does what in publishing? What are my roles and responsibilities? What are first serial rights? Right of first refusal? What's a style sheet? In this candid conversation about the book biz, and using my own experience publishing with Lake Union Publishing, Viking, and HarperCollins, I will walk you through what you might expect from "The End" to your book's release day. My goal? Make sure you walk in with eyes wide open - and a crystal-clear idea of what you want for your book's path in the world.
