The Road to Publication (4-part series) May 2, 9, 16, 23 1:30 – 3:30pm, Thursdays Naples Center / Online via Zoom Your manuscript is revised and polished. Now what? Two avenues are open for publication— to find a traditional publisher or agent or to self-publish. This class covers the steps for each option and how to overcome hurdles along the way. First, we search for publishers and printers and what to look for in each. Next, we work on query letters and proposals for traditional publishers/agents, what to send, and how to pitch. Finally, we look at the steps for self-publishing including what to expect, how to find the best fit, and pricing levels.  Mary Queen of Scots May 8 | 1:30 – 3pm Wednesday FGCU Main Campus – Building AB9 – Room 106 For love, power, intrigue and scandal you cannot beat the story of Mary Stuart! She was Queen of Scotland at six days old, Queen of France at sixteen, and had events gone as planned, Scotland would today be a part of France. Mary fully expected to become Queen of England as well. Instead in a tragic twist of fate, Mary lost her head. Her life was one of political ambition, intrigue, love, murder, plots and deception. Did Mary create her own fate or was she a victim of much stronger outside forces?
