| SUCCESS! On June 19, I moderated a panel on publishing, "The Many Paths to Publishing," with two representatives from Woodland Press, Michael knost and Brian Hatcher; Cathy Teets, from Headline books, and Abby Freeland, from West Virginia University Press. The panel of experts spoke about what their presses looked for in submissions and answered many of the Standing Room Only attendees' questions. Thanks to these folks for stellar presentations! |
