Unicorn Writers’ Conference, March 14, 2015Reid Castle-Manhattanville College- Purchase, NY
History of Reid Castle
Welcome... and welcome back!
Unicorn Writers’ Conference is
uniquely designed to arm visionary writers with the practical know-how
they need to get their manuscripts through or around the gatekeepers of
the publishing world. Today, between multinational media corporations
and global entertainment conglomerates, getting a publisher’s attention
takes more than a great idea and a flair for the written word. Whether
you like it or not, publishers view your manuscript as much as a
business proposition as a work of art. The Conference will offer dozens
of workshops involving the inside world of book publishing from the
perspectives of various departments within a publishing company—
Contracts, Copyrights, Permissions, Legal, Subsidiary Rights, Foreign
Rights, Audio, Electronic, Special Sales and Premium Sales, Marketing,
Advertising, Promotion, Publicity, Sales, Royalties, Art and Design, and
Production. Furthermore, Unicorn will offer editorial workshops
focusing on key genres: Fiction, Nonfiction, Memoir, Children’s Books,
Mystery Writing, Screenwriting, and more. Plus, we’ll have renowned
agents, publishers, and editors at the event.
In addition to holding workshops on the
publishing essentials of writing and editing, Unicorn Writers’
Conference will bring together industry insiders to offer rare tutorials
on what publishers really care about — including how to market a book,
generate publicity, select artwork, write a great query letter, improve
your writing, and negotiate a book deal. Not only will you make industry
connections with established editors and get one-on-one feedback from
published writers of fiction, nonfiction, screenplay, mystery, and
children’s books, you will also meet leading publicists, marketers, and
executives who will tell you exactly what they expect before they buy a
manuscript. Leading filmmakers and bloggers will give tutorials on how
to take advantage of cutting-edge technologies and social media services
like YouTube videos, blogs, and podcasts. The evening concludes with a
fabulous networking party and dinner.
The next conference will be held from
7:30 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. on March 14, 2015, at Reid Castle in
Manhattanville College Purchase, NY. For more information on our
speakers and workshops, and how to register, please see the menu to the
left. See you there!
