Medill Club of Greater NY -- "Insider Advice to Write, Publish, and Market Your Book"

THE MEDILL CLUB OF GREATER NY presents…

“Insider advice to write, publish, and market your book!”
Wednesday, February 17, 2010

• Has the start of a new year spurred you to get going on the book you've always wanted to write?
• Do you finally have the time to move forward with that great idea for a novel, but don't know where to start?
• Has your journey as a journalist inspired a non-fiction idea, but you wonder how to pursue it — and your full-time job?
Whether you're plotting the next great novel or non-fiction narrative, who better to turn to for advice than your Northwestern & Medill colleagues.

At this upcoming event, a panel of distinguished alumni will share their insight and experience — and answer your questions — about book publishing. You'll have a 360-degree view of the process from authors (fiction & non-fiction), literary agents and a senior editor at a major New York publishing house.
