Mount Mary U. Schedules Publishing Institute

Ann Angel, professor and English Program Director at Mount Mary University sends a reminder that Mount Mary is partnering with RedOak to present its Publishing Institute.
“We’ve got a great line up of local writers as well as nationally recognized agents and editors,” Angel says. “Our own Bridget Birdsall [winner of CWW’s 2014 Tofte/Wright Children’s Literature Award] will be speaking about ‘How Self-Publishing Helped me find an Agent and Healed my Soul’ on Friday evening. That event is free and open to the public. Bridget will be back for a breakout session on Saturday. We’ve also got Regina Brooks of Serendipity LIt coming to Milwaukee for this event. She publishes childrens, YA and adult work. There is a small fee for the Saturday events and an additional fee to pitch work one-on-one with an agent or editor. You can find all the information on the following link which you’ll need to copy and paste.

Mount Mary Publishing Institute Registration Open

Mount Mary University English Program Director and Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators member Ann Angel announces that registration is open for the Sept. 25-26 Mount Mary Publishing Institute. 
“We have Regina Brooks, owner and agent with Serendipity Lit, one of the few minority owned and operated agencies, coming to speak,” Ann says. “Madison’s Bridget Birdsall will be speaking on Friday evening (free and open to the public) on how self-publishing helped her find her agent and her heart. There is a fee for Saturday’s events which include workshops on writing and publishing short stories, writing for the radio with WPR’s Mitch Teich, a keynote by breakout novelist Dean Bakopoulos, agent panels on writing solid queries and pitching to agents and editors. For an additional fee, writers can pitch verbally to agents in the afternoon. We’re keeping fees as low as possible and hope to make this an annual event.  Here’s the link in case you’re interested in learning more or wish to download the registration – http://mtmary.edu/news-events/events/publishing-institute.html“
