Publishing Industry Education

Overview

Publishing Industry Education is Elvaron's teaching arm: structured sessions and written guides on the editorial process, submission craft and the publishing industry, for authors at any stage.

The programme covers the writing life as well as the industry: editing stages and what each delivers, how to read an offer or a contract's headline terms, how to work with an editor, and how to plan a publishing calendar. Sessions are tailored to where you are.

What this service includes

• The editorial process, stage by stage
• Submission craft: queries, synopses and openings
• Contracts, rights and royalties explained
• Working productively with an editor
• Session notes and recommended reading
