Upcoming Writer's Digest Webinar:
Get Your Nonfiction Book Published with Jane Friedman...


My very knowledgeable Publisher Jane Friedman is offering a great webinar next week on getting nonfiction published. The session takes place Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 1 pm, EST and lasts a full hour and a half, for only $79.

Here's what attendees will learn during Jane's session:

  • Find out the difference between a nonfiction book concept that gets an immediate, enthusiastic response from agents/editors—and one that gets no response.
  • Learn how to craft a selling handle with sizzle.
  • Learn the one golden rule of nonfiction book ideas and how it assures publication every time.
  • Learn the basics of nonfiction book proposal writing (smart authors never write the book first, they always write a proposal).
And there's a BONUS: The first 25 people to register may submit a 100-word summary of their nonfiction book concept (which must include the book’s tentative title), to be critiqued in live time by Jane during the webinar. The second 25 people to register may also submit a summary, and will receive a custom critique within 24 hours of the presentation.

If you or any of your writer friends are interested in publishing nonfiction, you can click here for the full scoop and to register.

(Also note that I'm doing a webinar on children's publishing in February. You can register through the same link. And I'll remind you again later.)

Boy, knowledgeable sure is the word, Alice! I listened to a webinar given by Jane Friedman last week...her first, I think. It was terrific! Lots of great notes and lots to think about. I highly recommend it!

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll post it to my local SCBWI e-list.

I attended a conference where you gave a talk (gosh, it must be close to 10 years ago...). You were terrific, so I'm sure your webinar is too!

I wonder if a humorous book about my kindergarten tales would be non-fiction. (crap- is that a stupid question?)
