\"\"How to Impress a Publisher<\/strong><\/p>\n

What does it take to make your manuscript stand out? Regardless of genre, publishers need to see how your book would fit into their list, how they could position it in the marketplace and, most importantly, how many copies they are likely to sell. This presentation will help you position your submission with these factors in mind. The first half of the session will include tips, tricks and suggested resources; the second half will be devoted to questions and answers from participants.<\/p>\n
