You’ve found a publisher and your book manuscript has been accepted for peer review. But what happens next? I’ll walk you through what to expect throughout peer review, to contracting, copy editing, production, and marketing your book.

All attendees will be entered in a raffle to receive a half-hour consultation on their book proposal with Peggy!
