Learn how a book can succeed in today’s volatile marketplace. A publisher, agent, bookseller, publicist, and cultural critic discuss such questions as: What are editors and publishers looking for? What can an agent sell these days? How do book reviews choose which new titles get reviewed?  The panelists will also share tips on the dynamics of publishing professionals working seamlessly together to push a book onto the bestseller list. A vital discussion for writers (both already published and aspiring) and for book publishing professionals. Q&A session after the panel offers their presentations and empirically tested advice. Panelists include Michele Karlsberg (moderator), Greg Newton, Lori Perkins, June Thomas, and Mitchell Waters.
