Conducted by Jayapriya Vasudevan from Jacaranda Literary Academy, this talk will introduce aspiring authors, especially first time authors, to the publishing industry. It will help to guide them through the complex maze that leads their manuscript from their desk to that of an agent and eventually a publisher.
