    Session description:

    The gateway to publishing fiction has for centuries been guarded by a relatively small number of editors, publishers and magazine proprietors, leaving first-time writers to navigate the dos and don’ts of submission protocol in order to stand out among an ever-growing crowd. Now, with the emergence of self-publishing and digital platforms as legitimate vehicles for new works, what options are available to emerging writers? In this session, our panel of experts will discuss traditional as well as alternative means of getting published – and the best ways to improve your chances of finding the right publisher for your work.
