"The Wild and Wooly, Stumble and Bumble Your Way to Success Story. Or: How Anyone Can Publish By Saying Yes"

Jordan Rosenfeld

In this new day of publishing, writers have to think even further outside the box on the road to publication--and get comfortable with the fact that the line to success may not be a straight one. Jordan Rosenfeld uses her own experience "saying yes to unexpected opportunities" along the way of her career to illustrate how important it is to be creative, take opportunities and not limit yourself on the road to publication. She'll give examples of unusual avenues for publication ranging from radio to readings, magazine articles to book proposals.

Jordan E. Rosenfeld is author of two books for writers: Make a Scene, and with Rebecca Lawton, Write Free: Attracting the Creative Life. Her freelance articles and book reviews have appeared in the Marin Magazine, Publisher's Weekly, the San Francisco Chronicle, The St. Petersburg Times, Writer's Digest, The Writer, and on NPR-Affiliate KQED Radio's "California Report" among others. Her fiction has appeared in Literary Mama, The Pedastal, Smokelong Quarterly, the Summerset Review and more. http://jordanrosenfeld.wordpress.com
