Leviosa

The transition from writing fanfiction to writing a book can be a daunting prospect, but, particularly as the market for m/m and f/f ebooks expands, more and more fanfic writers are finding a place in the publishing world. In this panel, slash writers who've made that jump discuss the following: how they got into original writing; why that ‘Fifty Shades of’ book may have been the best thing to happen to fanfic writers in years; whether you need an agent, what publishers are slash friendly and how to submit your manuscript to them; the steps to go from query letters to finished manuscript, and everything in between; the difference between the synopsis and the cover blurb; what to expect after you've sold your book; and how writing fanfic gave them a career. Join us at this panel and discover that it's absolutely possible for your publishing dreams to come true!
