Getting published (advanced)

So you've spent the last few years slaving away on your novel, and now it's finally complete. But what should you do next? Try to get yourself an agent or submit directly to a publisher? What should you submit? hen and how? Can you send out work to more than one agent or publisher at a time? A synopsis! Help! What’s one of those? And how on earth do you write one?

On this short course, answers to these and other important questions are combined with guidance on how to shape and tailor what you submit in order to boost your chances of success.
