On-Demand Webinar Teaches Aspiring Authors How to Get Their Books Into Print-and Mistakes to Avoid Along the Way

Online, February 23, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Many people want to write and publish a book, but taking that first step may seem too intimidating, too challenging, or simply impossible. But if aspiring fiction and non-fiction authors do nothing, then nothing will happen. If they give up on their dream, how will they feel about it in five, 10, 20 years?

A new on-demand webinar will teach those who want to get published that rejection doesn't mean the end of the road if they're willing to work hard. In this 70-minute session, award-winning author Maria Murnane, who took her novel Perfect on Paper from self-published to traditionally published through creativity and sheer perseverance, will explain how both publishing routes work. Using her first-hand experience, she will cover the pros and cons of each to help attendees weigh them against their goals. She'll also offer tips for getting that first manuscript completed.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Decide which publishing route is best for them so they can get moving quickly
• Get literary agents to evaluate their work-instead of tossing it in the circular file
• Ask the right questions of potential partners and vendors
• Avoid mistakes that will cost time, money and readers
• Have fun and enjoy the process!

Admission is $75 per attendee. The registration page is at: http://eventcallregistration.com/reg/index.jsp?cid=20706t11 (Scroll to bottom for on-demand registration.)

"Maria Murnane's webinar "Want to become a published author?" was incredibly informative. The session was packed with so much information about self-publishing and traditional publishing, the pros and cons of each, things to be mindful of and general hints and advice based on Maria's experiences with both publishing routes. Maria generously aggregates all the necessary information that an aspiring author like me will need into a succinct one-hour or so session. I left the webinar knowing that she saved me many hours of research and trial and error experiences. Thanks, Maria, for pointing me in the right direction!"
