If you’re serious about becoming a professional writer then you should get to this:

This January 13-­15th in Salt Lake City, six international bestselling authors are presenting the second Superstars Writing Seminar, a full-blown ³boot camp² of the things you need to know to be a career professional writer.

Topics include:

Economics of Commercial Publishing. How Editors Look at Manuscripts, Novels, and Short Fiction. Dissecting a Book Contract. How to Read and Understand a Royalty Statement. Dirty Secrets: What You Need to Know About Being a Professional Author. How to Leverage Your Intellectual Property.  Balancing Acts: Writing World and Real World.  Agents.
