Though I’ve been a professional book editor for many kinds of books, nonfiction has always had a special place in my heart. That’s why I felt so honored when Stephanie Chandler of the Nonfiction Authors Association invited me to participate in a teleseminar discussing “How to Compile an Anthology Book.”
The mission for the Nonfiction Authors Association is to provide valuable education, resources, and a supportive community for authors of nonfiction books. Book publishing can be overwhelming and book marketing isn’t easy. With an ever-increasing number of book titles entering the market each year, it’s important to stay on top of industry trends, understand your options and keep your marketing wheels in motion. As a Basic member, I’ve enjoyed several of their teleseminars and even a couple of their conferences.
In this teleseminar, we’ll discuss important considerations when working on an anthology, or collection, of short works such as:
- What are the key elements to a great anthology?
- What first steps should an author take when editing an anthology?
- What kind of compensation for which kinds of permissions are involved?
- What makes an anthology marketable (and what would prompt a book deal from a publisher)?
And more!
While live access to their weekly teleseminars is FREE to the Nonfiction Authors Association community, recordings are available to Authority, VIP, and Thought Leader members. So that means you need to show up live to learn how to compile an anthology of your own 😉 If you’re not yet a member of NFAA and you’d like to listen in on this info-packed conversation between Stephanie and I, Join Here as a Basic member (free) or as a subscribing member.
The teleseminar will air on October 3, 2018 at 1:00PM EST. Members will receive instructions on how to dial in via email prior to the event. For more info about the teleseminar, you may contact Sue Canfield or visit NonfictionAuthorsAssociation.com.
