If you’re interested in writing to sell, I’ll be presenting the workshop, Selling a Book in the Ever-Changing Publishing World at Running Wild Writers Community at 525 S. 4th Street, Philadelphia, PA,  on Saturday, April 24, 2010 from 9-4 pm.

Here’s a description of the workshop:

New technologies and the present economy have presented a challenge to many businesses and the publishing world is no different. Being an author of twenty-seven books spanning twenty years Donna has been challenged by many of them and continues to be challenged by new ones.

Though it isn’t easy to get published, it isn’t impossible. Armed with a range of knowledge and determination a writer can become a published author. In this day workshop Donna will detail the necessary steps and point out the pitfalls and perils on the path to publication.

The workshop will cover such areas as but not be limited to: publishing challenges, defining your book, defining the markets, beginnings, character & dialogue, plotting, finding an agent, how to submit your work, hardcover vs. trade vs. mass market, what’s hot and what’s not, e-publishing, marketing, critique groups, writing organizations, armed and ready for publication.

Handouts will be available for all attendees.

If interested sign up and then e-mail me and let me know you’ll be attending. I’ll be looking forward to meeting you and sharing what I know to help you on your path to becoming a published author.
