Learning the ins and outs of publishing may seem counterintuitive (even crass!) to the heart and soul of the creative writer, but a basic understanding of the marketplace is a necessity these days. In this class, you will look at various market resources/strategies to help you place your short stories, personal essays, travel memoirs, how-to books and novels. From the dos and don'ts of pitching to the various ways to build a platform to figuring out when you need an agent, a book proposal or a blog, you'll learn how to best sell your work without selling your soul.
