Learn how short stories can form a crucial part of any fiction writer’s career. This session will help you understand the basics of licensing rights for short fiction, why you should always target the top markets, key clauses to look for in short fiction contracts, and much more.

Most importantly, you will learn the many ways a successful short fiction writer can leverage their backlist of published stories far beyond that first sale, including reprints, foreign language sales, audio markets, and collections.

Presenter: Douglas Smith
Length: 90 minutes (including Q&A)
Level: Basic and Intermediate
Type: Informational

Cost: This series is free due to COVID-19’s impact on the writing community; space is limited to the first 100 attendees.

Can’t attend on that particular date? No problem — as long as you’re registered, we’ll send you a link to the recording within 48 hours of the live webinar.
