How do I get an agent? Should I call my autobiographical story a novel or
memoir? Do I have to write the whole book or just the proposal? How many pages
do I need? What kind of advance can I expect? In this Secrets of Book Publishing
panel, a young novelist, a seasoned pro with her third book out, two debut
memoirists (one who is a New York Times editor!), a literary agent and the
author of 5 nonfiction books will spill all the inside info on how you too can
write a great book and nail a publishing deal.
