To celebrate African-American History Month we are hosting a special talk by Jehan Jones-Radgowski, who will share her story of publishing books — all related to African American History, and will tie in some aspects of those individual stories as well as demonstrate the publication process.
Join Jehan as she discusses the journey from idea to publication for your non-fiction works or fiction picture books or novels. Topics covered include conducting research, deciding between traditional vs self-publishing, partnering with an illustrator, finding an agent, and finding a publisher.
