Marysville Public Library

Meeting Room A

Getting published is a huge step, and a lot has to go into your writing before you can be published. For tweens and teens!

Bring your current writing projects and we will continue working on them as we discuss what all has to go into getting published. What are beta readers? Do you need them? Should you self-publish? What does it take to be published traditionally? We will tackle all these questions, and touch base on what we learned from Emily Rozmus.
