Writers Workshop: How Publishing Works

  • Thorn St. Brewing 3176 Thorn Street San Diego, CA, 92104 United States (map)

It can be hard to know where to begin getting your work published amidst a sea of misinformation and a rapidly changing industry, but together we’ll unpack the questions, processes, and emerging developments so you can go forth prepared. We’ll cover how and when to solicit an agent, letters of inquiry, book proposals, the differences between non-fiction and fiction in the industry, book deals, marketing, residuals, advances, and emerging trends.

To better help us contour the class to your individual questions and interests, please take the time to fill out this form and let us know what you’d like to learn about in particular. - LINK.

Jennifer Coburn is the author of The Girls of the Glimmer Factory and Cradles of the Reich,  historical novels about the strength of women's friendship and the connections that can be forged during even the most harrowing of times.

She has also published a mother-daughter travel memoir, We'll Always Have Paris, as well as six contemporary women's novels. Additionally, Jennifer has contributed to five literary anthologies, including A Paris All Your Own.

Jennifer lives in San Diego with her husband, William. Their daughter, Katie is currently in graduate school. When Jennifer is not going down historical research rabbit holes, she volunteers with So Say We All, a live storytelling organization, where she is a performer, producer, and performance coach. She is also a volunteer with Reality Changers, a nonprofit that supports low-income high school students in becoming the first in their families to attend college. She specializes in college essay development, interview prep, and nagging.
