Insider Guide to Getting Published
Presented by the Humber School of Creative & Performing Arts

You’ve written and revised a manuscript you’re proud of. Or you’ve got a great idea you would like to develop. What’s the next step? Whether your work is fiction or non-fiction, for children or adults, this two day workshop will tell you everything you need to know to start you on the path to publication. Workshop leader Cynthia Good will share what publishers look for when they accept a manuscript, what outside influences affect publishers’ choices and provide some insights into the internal decision-making process. She will show you how to prepare cover letters and book proposals that get results and look at the pros and cons of working with a literary agent. She will cover what happens after your manuscript has been acquired by a publisher; what your contract might look like, the editorial process, the marketing of your book and more.

Cynthia Good is the Director of Humber College’s Creative Book Publishing Program and was the President and Publisher of Penguin Books for 20 years.
