LEARNING FROM A CANADIAN
BEST-SELLER AUTHOR
Author, Kelley Armstrong |
Armstrong is a Canadian author of several immensely popular series, including
Women of the Otherworld, The Darkest Power, the Cainsville
series, The Blackwell Pages trilogy, and more, as well as several
stand-alone novels. She writes both fantasy and crime novels, and writes for
adults, middle-grade, and young adult readers. Her newest book, City
of the Lost, is now available.
This is the second workshop for writers that I’ve attended of Kelley’s, and I recommend
anyone flirting with the idea of writing as a career or those currently in the
business to register for future workshops.
Kelley’s informative and entertaining discussion touched on many aspects of traditional publishing:
·
Getting started
·
Writing credentials
·
Editing
·
Research
·
Trunk novels
·
Literary Agents
·
Names of the five big publishing houses
·
How to get published
·
Royalty payments
·
Best seller author rankings
·
Money management
·
Book cover art
·
Television and movie book contract options.
So, if
you’re sitting on the fence about exploring the business of being a published
author – roll the dice. It might be a gamble
worth taking.
