This moderated panel will discuss: · Why editors should consider writing and publishing their work (fiction or nonfiction) · What the process is like (both traditional and indie track) · How being a published author fits into an editing business/career · How “editors as authors” can contribute to a more meaningfully inclusive publishing landscape This is a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the experiences of four editors who are successfully published authors. Participants will leave encouraged—and with enough information to get started on their own publishing journey.
