Attention local writers! Working on a novel, but not sure what to do with it once it’s finished? The world of professional publishing can be confusing and tricky… a labyrinth of query letters, book agents, cold calls and mountainous slush piles.
The second annual Austin Publishing University, set to start on August 1st at 1pm, is here to help. Held on the third floor of BookPeople each Sunday in August, the APU is a five part series that teaches the basics of publishing – how to create quality content, the essentials of book design, and the secrets of succesful marketing strategies.
More information can be found on the APU website. You can also follow the University on twitter by searching for the hash tag #austinpubu. Tickets are available to purchase at BookPeople from 9am until 11PM.
