Dorothy St. James will talk about the experiences and changes she’s made in her publishing career since her first book was released fifteen years ago. She’s published with large publishers, small publishers, e-publishers, and self-published books. She’s worked with an agent but also sold books to publishers on her own. She’s made plenty of mistakes over the years, experienced a bit of luck, and is looking forward to sharing her professional ups and downs and lessons learned ever since quitting her job to write full-time way back in 2001.

Friday, November 6; 2:00-3:30 p.m. $45/person. Limited to 15 participants. This workshop will be held as an online video conference call through Zoom. Details for joining the video call will be provided to all participating writers after registering. Course materials will be provided as email attachments.

The Beloved Bookroom Mysteries combine her love of libraries, small town Southern charm, and a heaping helping of intrigue. Dorothy was raised in the South and currently lives in Charleston, South Carolina within shouting distance of her neighborhood library, a dream come true.
