What Previous Hosts & Attendees Had To Say...​
​
Amanda Gavigan gave a fantastic presentation called Unlocking the Power of Readers: The Six Essential Types of Readers You Need Before Publishing Your Book. It answered the question every writer asks: I’ve finished my MS – now what? Many of us get so immersed in the writing process, struggling to master the mechanics of storytelling, that when we’re ready to send our book out into the world, we feel like we have to learn a new language. What’s the difference between a developmental editor and a line editor? What’s the difference between an alpha reader and a beta reader? What’s the difference between an ARC reader and a sensitivity reader? Do people still go on book tours? And of course – how much does it all cost? Amanda explained all this and more with precision and clarity. I guarantee that if she speaks at your writing group, she will make the first steps into the publishing world a lot easier. And she will definitely build lasting relationships with your members after her first visit. I couldn’t have been happier with her talk. - Vaughan Public Libraries: Writers' Room
