No Agent? No Problem!: Publishing with a University or Small Press
Rooms 427-429, Summit Building, Seattle Convention Center, Level 4
Saturday, March 11, 2023
9 – 10:15 am PST
When writers without agents submit to small and university presses, they’re often working without the benefit of an advocate who understands the publishing world and can speak to their best interests. This panel aims to give writers without agents the resources they need to help them have a positive publishing experience. Topics include cover pitches and early communication; contracts and finances; peer review and/or the role of a press board; and best practices for working with editors.
Panelists: Anitra Budd, Cate Hodorowicz, Kristen Miller, Meg Reid, Marisa Siegel
Editor meetings: I will be available for 15-minute, one-on-one conversations during select AWP bookfair hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Meetings will take place at the Northwestern University Press booth (1012/1010). Check my availability and reserve a time HERE.
