Tools aspiring authors can use

Ready to make the leap from slush pile to paid scribe? Jill Rothenberg, my fabulous (former) Seal Press editor, just announced that she’ll be teaching an online class on writing a winning nonfiction book proposal through Media Bistro this spring. I can’t say enough about how brilliant and hiliarious and savvy about all things publishing Jill is. I pretty much cried when she left Seal, even though I was excited that she did it to become a fellow freelancer.

But don’t take my word for it. Read the course description and her impressive bio yourself. (I didn’t know this, but she worked on Blood Diamonds: Tracing the Path of the World’s Most Deadly Stones — you know, the book made into that bigass Leonardo Di movie.)
