ACP’s Career Blueprint: So You Want to Write a Book...

On September 22nd, ACP hosted a conversation with first-time authors Bill and Karen Brodsky, CAA Talent Agent Anthony Mattero, and Publicist David Brown focused on the journey from writing an idea to publishing a thriller. The discussion provided a behind-the-scenes look at Bill and Karen’s experience co-writing their first spy thriller, connecting with a global talent agency, and securing a marketing deal with Simon & Schuster. Attendees gained insight into the differences between traditional and self-publishing, how the rise of self-publishing has impacted the industry, and what it takes to move a manuscript from the writing stage into the hands of readers.
