“An Agent’s
Perspective on the Latest options in Publishing”
If you wish to wave goodbye to traditional publishing and go indie
(independent),
Tamela Hannock Murray believes
the first question to ask is whether or not you want to start a small business,
just like an entrepreneur. Those authors who are entrepreneurs are ideally
suited for the self-publishing route. They understand the energy it takes and the
pitfalls that lie ahead. The second question to ask is whether you can sell
enough copies to make it all worthwhile—and are also willing to take
responsibility if a book fails. Come hear the current trends in publishing from
the traditional publishing side, learn how to find an agent and then decide for
yourself!
Tamela joined
The Steve Laube Agency after serving as an agent with Hartline Literary Agency
for a decade. A bestselling, award-winning author of more than two dozen
novels, novellas and nonfiction books, Tamela brings the perspective of a
working writer to her role as a literary agent. As an agent she represents many
top authors and continues to develop new talent. She earned her BA with honors

in
