SUMMARY:Judith T. Fisher: Your Road to Traditional Publishing
DESCRIPTION:The Writers Alliance of Gainesville welcomes author and speaker Judith T. Fisher\, who will speak on securing an agent and traditional publisher while avoiding pitfalls and scams.\n\nAuthor Judith T. Fisher will be WAG’s guest speaker on Sunday\, August 10. Her presentation\, “Your road to securing an agent and a traditional publisher while avoiding pitfalls and scams\,” will begin at 2:30 p.m. in Room A of the Millhopper branch of the Alachua County Library.\n\nThe discussion will include:\n\nAcquisition of agents\n\nquery letters\npress releases\nawards\, speaking engagements\, etc.\n\nPublisher’s Process\n\nsubmission acceptance calendar\nforms required\nsecure submission portals\n\nPitfalls and Scams\n\nthey won’t call you\nrepublishing scam\nhuge contract offers and the scams that go with them\n\n\nA journalism major\, Fisher first began writing a heartfelt blog to fill the time previously spent tending to her husband and two children. As she wrote and gained followers\, she decided to try pure fiction. She knew that women who grew up in her generation\, who struggled with fears\, questions\, and issues\, had no voice. They were silenced. She wanted to give a voice to those who still carry baggage\, coupled with shame\, embarrassment\, and skeletons that affect how they live their lives today.\n\nShe writes about experiences that affected her profoundly\, with the hope that her fictional protagonists’ successful solutions will give her readers encouragement.\n\nFour of her books include Voices from the Ledge\, which deals with social issues. A Life\, Well Lived is a fictional memoir. Okay\, So I Lied is about following your own bliss. Backfired is a study in unrequited love. Her most recent novel\, Two Lost Souls\, examines miscarriages and infertility.\nWith two grown children and six grandchildren\, Fisher currently resides in Central Florida with her husband and a four-legged “child\,” Mitzi.\n\nThis program is free and open to the public. Come join us!
