From Inspiration to Publication: Free Teleseminar
August 19, 2005
Marcela Landres, Editorial ConsultantIf there's one thing Marcela Landres learned in her seven years as an editor at Simon & Schuster, it was this: being a good writer does not guarantee a successful writing career.

This information packed 1 hour seminar showed participants 10 essential tips to get their books out of their heads and onto the bookshelves.

In the back of my mind I was thinking about last year's event. Could the organizers of this well known writers conference outdo themselves once more? They could and they did!
