When Suzanne first started writing, she had never taken a writing course and didn’t know one person in the industry.

Two and a half decades later, her books have become bestsellers, were optioned for film, translated abroad and she started a literary arts organization that is now a worldwide phenomenon. 

Her writers have been picked up by the Bent Agency, The Carol Mann Agency, InkWell Literary Agency, CMA, Writer’s House, and many more.  Her authors have enjoyed six and seven figure book deals and have been published by Random House, St. Martin’s Press, Simon and Schuster, Scribner, HarperCollins and more.  

This session will tell you all you need to know about the sale of your book:

1. What agents are looking for, if you need one, and how to find one.
2. The proposal problem: when to write it, if you need it, and why some get sold for millions at the agent auction.
3. Platform building for non-fiction writers: the secret formula that will help you make a name for yourself when you feel like a “nobody” (and why some writers don’t need a platform).
4. The single reason most writers never get a book deal.
