The Road to Traditional Fiction and Nonfiction Publishing: One Author’s Journey

and reasons for pursuing a traditional approach to publishing their

fiction and/or nonfiction works. Topics covered include: the writer’s

purpose; defining the difference between a writing hobby vs professional

writing; self-publishing vs pursuing an agent vs using a small press;

and how personal choice comes into play.
