No trees were destroyed in the sending of this email. However, a whole lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
Association for Mormon Letters will sponsor a Publishers Fair from
noon until 5 p.m. in the Garden Court of the Wilkinson Center.
This annual event provides students, faculty, staff, alumni, and
friends the opportunity to meet with editors from a range of markets, such as
Deseret Book, Cedar Fort, LDS Church Magazines, and Utah Historical
Quarterly.
Editors will meet with prospective authors, illustrators,
photographers, and editing students to examine their work and offer
suggestions and
sometimes even jobs.
Authors who wish to submit their work to a publisher should bring
either a query letter and synopsis or the manuscript in proper format along
with a submission letter and a self-addresssed, stamped envelope. BYU's
Publication Lab can offer assistance with preparation, queries, and
submission letters. The lab is open daily, noon to 5, in the Info Commons
of the Harold B. Lee Library.
Publishers Attending:
BYU Studies
BYU Magazine
Cedar Fort
Deseret Book
Parables Publishing
LDS Living
LDS Church magazines
Utah Historical Quarterly
Unconfirmed:
Linda Adams may also be there to represent Pioneer magazine.
Tad Walch, Deseret News Utah County Bureau chief.
