There are a lot of Gatekeepers in publishi ng. Thankfully\, Hope Bolinger has done just about everything from agentin g\, working at publishers\, and writing for publication. She'll show you h ow to break into publishing the easiest way. Bring some writing samples to share with the group if you wish.
\nHope has given classes at 300+ venues ranging from conferences to classroom settings\, to libraries\, to podcast/radio/TV. She is one of those weird authors who loves public speak ing. She \;is a literary agent with more than 1000 of her own works pu blished\, from short stories and plays to middle grade\, young adult\, and adult fiction. When she isn't working five jobs or going crazy\, she love s to play for her local handbell group\, act in local theater\, and cuddle her fat cat\, Twix\, against his will. She's been known to be spotted in a Red Riding Hood outfit downtown for no apparent reason and catching up w ith readers on social media @hopebolinger.
