The landscape of the publishing industry is changing rapidly. Once characterized by boutique publishers, companies merged and acquired smaller ones to form giant publishing houses, subsequently acquired by media conglomerates. The existence of the big NYC publishing houses is now threatened by a weak economy, shrinking market, and competition from reinvigorated indie and self-publishers. Writers seeking an audience have more options than ever before.
We offer a variety of presentations designed to help writers choose the right avenue for their projects while providing the inside information they need to publish like they mean it, in the way that suits them best. If you need an engaging and informed speaker for your next event, then look no further. Connecting with writers and would-be authors is what drives us to do what we do!
Ally and Harrison present regularly on writing and publishing related topics for conferences and organizations nationwide, both online and in person. We’ve moderated panels, led workshops as short as one day and as long as eight weeks, and spoken to groups of varying size and experience levels. Let us help your members achieve their publishing goals, and we’ll make you look good in the process!
Some of our most popular talks for conferences or short sessions include:
- Your Author Platform: Why Background Matters, and How to Get the Right One
- Revisions: Polishing Your Work for Publication
- Successful Self-Publishing: 5 Steps to a Plan That’s Right for You and Your Book
- How to Write a Winning Book Proposal
- Bad Math: The Function of Logic in Fiction
