Writing is hard. Publishing a book is even harder. Completing a good manuscript takes years of practice and patience. You write, and rewrite, and then you write some more. When you're finished, you want others to read your work. But first you need to find an agent, or do you? Then you need to find a publisher. If you manage to find an agent or publisher, you still have a lot of work to do to publish your book. Join seasoned local writers Sejal Shah (How To Make Your Mother Cry: Fictions; This is One Way to Dance: Essays) and K.E. Semmel (The Book of Losman) as they discuss their journeys to publication.
