Congratulations, you’re done! You’ve devoted attention, energy, and countless hours to writing THE BOOK. What comes next? Finding an agent or publisher, of course.

Fortunately, there’s help on the way. Up next on Fremont Area Writers’ star-studded speaker list on Saturday, May 25, is Susan Sachs Lipman. She’s an author, blogger, and social media director of the Children & Nature Network.

Her topic:  Book Proposals that Sell: Concrete Steps to Enticing Publishers and Agents. Lipman will discuss how to gather material and do research, reveal what agents and publishers look for in a winning book proposal, and tell how to get their attention.

She’s the author of “Fed Up with Frenzy: Slow Parenting in a Fast-Moving World,” which was named a Top 10 Parenting Trend by TIME Magazine in 2012. Lipman blogs for the New York Times Motherlode, the Christian Science Monitor’s Modern Parenthood, and for her own award-winning Slow Family Online.
