Long before you ever submit to agents and publishers, or if you go the indie route, hit publish on your distribution platform of choice, there are many, many steps towards getting your creative work to where you want to share it with the entire universe. It can be very intimidating and many authors never progress past this point. This panel is determined to help you avoid this stall-out. We hope that, throughout discussion and your questions, we can help all of you authors out there get those stories out of your own desk drawers and onto the desks of those who will take them to the next level, whether that be freelance editors, critique partners, agents, publishers, or a reliable and objective group of critique partners. With Tamara Sellman, Kat Richardson, Jen Flanagan, moderated by Brian Blackwood.
