Tuesday Tips: Advice on Becoming a Published Novelist

Earlier today, I posted about Allison Winn Scotch’s (C’95) novel The Department of Lost and Found.

While the book’s story was intriguing, an even more intriguing story is how Allison actually became a published novelist. Like many creative careers, it's a story of perseverance.

I've been speaking with Allison over the past few weeks and she has shared valuable, specific tips with us on the following topics:

• How to get published
• How to land an agent
• What classes to take
• What books an aspiring author should read
• Writing programs to use
• Events for networking
• Groups to Join
