"What a Publisher Wants to See". Part of this year's "Inside Writing & Publishing Program - DuPage Branch," Sharon Woodhouse's presentation
will answer your big question: "I finally made it this far (finished a book), now what?" Woodhouse has counseled over 300 new college graduates,
aspiring authors, and career changers on book proposal writing, book publishing, and careers in publishing. Useful even (especially?!) if you haven't
yet started writing the book inside of you. Lake Claremont Press books will be available for review after the program.
