What's In, What's Out, and Why? Liz Szalba

If you aren't up on the basics when you pitch your book, it's going to show. No matter how great your book is...you need some understanding.

If you aren't spending time in your local bookstores, you're missing out on your best avenue for market research. Seep yourself in retail.

Some questions to ask a children't bookseller

1. What titles are you hand-selling?
2. What debut titles are most exciting to the staff?
3. What book do you wish you had, but you don't?



A great session with a focus on things that aspiring authors can do right now.
