Publishers Panel
Writers write. Publishers publish. The critical relationship between them: the writer follows an industry standard set of expectations for query letters, arousing interest in some busy editor with likes, dislikes, and low tolerance for crummy, ill-strategized letters.
Writers have ample questions and the panel generously devotes as much time as required to draw out questions, and offer elaborated, details responses. Several of the folks on the panel also write, so their hearts go out to writers at the first, or intermediate, stages of a life in literature.
