I’ve Sold My Book; Now What?
Sunday January 17, 2027 12:00pm - 1:00pm EST

This session covers what happens between signing a contract and holding a finished book: the editorial process, marketing and publicity timelines, what your publisher expects from you, and how to manage the long, sometimes disorienting road to publication day. You'll leave with a clear-eyed roadmap for turning a sold manuscript into a successful launch.
