A night of refreshments and learning about book building.
Building a book from scratch: What does it take? From coming up with an idea (by far the hardest part), to writing a proposal, to negotiating for an advance (that not only pays the bills but determines whether or not the publisher cares about a book), to traveling the country doing research, to hiring the dozen researchers who do everything from library and online searches to transcribing interviews, to begging for access to unseen collections (that can make/kill a book, and did especially with this book), to writing under a too-soon deadline. From start to finish and everything in between, local author Larry Tye will tell us all when it comes to getting your book up and off the ground.
