Speakers: Annette Bourland, McCall Hoyle, and Christina June
Level: AllJoin authors and the HarperCollins/Blink senior vice president as they define “quiet” young adult fiction. Using examples, they will show how to leverage and market quiet books by focusing on two important characteristics of all best-selling fiction: voice and emotion. Recommended reading lists, as well as query letters for books that sold to traditional publishing houses, will be provided. Participants will leave with a better understanding of “quiet” and the confidence they need to sell and market their own works.
