Class description
Authors who hope to be published need to understand the current concerns shaping the decisions publishers and agents make when it comes to the manuscripts they choose to acquire. This lecture will explore the issue of sensitivity readers, which has become a major point of emphasis within the industry. It will draw on my own publishing experience with my novel, Traces, winner of Story Circle Network’s 2024 Sarton Award for historical fiction.
