April Third Thursday: Debut Fiction: The Road to Publication

In April, join us for a conversation with three writers who are just days away from the publication of their debut novels. We’ll discuss the journey so far – from knowing when you’re ready to submit, to querying literary agents, to the book deal & all of the preparation for publication – everything that makes up the unique and thrilling experience of publishing your debut novel. This first part of a special two-part Third Thursday will cover the path to publication. In October, we’ll welcome our panelists back for a follow-up conversation to hear how those exciting days post-publication unfolded. Panelists include Alex McElroy, Stacey Swann, and Monica West.
