The aim of this panel is to offer insight and guidance to emerging writers of literary fiction, creative nonfiction, and memoir. The general topic will focus on the working relationships between a writer, an agent, and an editor. In particular, it will emphasize both the individual roles in the evolution of the book from manuscript to publication and also the team effort that took place throughout the book's publication journey. Panel discussion will feature Molly Dektar (author of The Ash Family: A Novel), her agent, PJ Mark, and her editor, Emily Graff. Moderated by Rachel Lyon. Learn more at www.clmp.org/lwcnyc-2019/.
