From Zero to One:

Lecture and panel discussion moderated by Karen Skolfield
with Amy Dryansky, Susan Kan, Sarah Sousa, and Michelle Valois

This event will be of special interest to writers submitting a
manuscript or about to publish a first book. We’ll discuss the happy but
often bewildering aftermath of acceptance: book design, publicity, the
vulnerability of being newly published, postpublication contests, second
and beyond books, and the importance of continuing to write after a
manuscript has been assembled or even published. We’ll also talk about
prepublication editing, researching presses, and contests, realistic
publishing expectations, and dealing with a difficult publisher.
Although the panel will focus on life after an acceptance, we will have
handouts that address the business side of preparing a manuscript.
Panelists include a publisher/editor, poets, and a prose writer in
various stages of their career. Discussion will be audience-driven—bring
your questions! Afterward, the panelists and Perugia Press will have
books for sale and will be available for some follow-up questions.
