Need to know more?  Don't lose too much time before responding.  Speed read on.   

Invest in something that just keeps on paying you back....your book! From speaking engagements to new clients to TV appearances (or deals) to increased SEO, your book is a calling card that works for you in perpetuity. Share you knowledge with the world, get paid what you're worth and prepare for a slew of adoring new fans. Nothing says "expert" like your very own name on a book.

On Tuesday, April 6th, bestselling author Jen Sincero will walk you through all the steps to getting your nonfiction book published including:

· All the parts and pieces of a nonfiction book proposal
· How to get an agent and why you need one in the first place
· Information on how the traditional publishing industry works (agents, editors, publishers, etc.)
· Information on self-publishing, custom publishing and Ebooks
· How having a real live book with your name on it can help you get speaking engagements, expert credibility, more clients, free publicity, a lovesick horde of dedicated fans and much more.

She'll also answer all your questions and give you feedback on your book idea. Even if you've never written a damn thing in your life, you can publish a book (a bestseller even) and create something that never stops working for you.

Jen Sincero is the bestselling author of The Straight Girl's Guide to Sleeping With Chicks and the semi-autobiographical novel Don't Sleep With Your Drummer. She is currently teaching a tele-class called "How To Write and Sell Your Nonfiction Book Proposal" that will leave you with an agent-ready book proposal in 8 weeks.

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!!

Take a gander at the great article about us in the LA Times Calendar section today.  Founding members television writer Mark Rizzo, novelist Alyss Dixson-Morris and poet Ashaki Jackson are featured.  We love those writers!
In the actual newsprint article, you'll see this photo of Alyss who has set herself a hard deadline to finish her novel and is literally under the gun.  Grammarians: we use literal in the literal, not emphatic, sense.  Bethany Barton's lighthearted "Pew Pew Pew" painting hangs above Alyss who contemplates her story layout on the room's whiteboard.


"Not all work, no play"

What happens when the interviewer hasn't read the book?

Mark Sarvas of the widely read lit blog The Elegant Variation (and Writers Junction founding member) asked and answered that question of Sam Lipsyte, author of The Ask.


Watch the mercifully brief interview here.  The incident was filmed at our very own Writers Junction.  Yes, Mom.  It's a joke.
