I love filet mignon. Seriously! My favorite type of meat. Maybe one of the reasons I like it so much is that I don't have it very often. If filet mignon were the only option of meat for me, though, I would likely get sick of it before too long. And someone who doesn't eat meat at all would never want to eat at my house at all.

An option, any option no matter how good it is, only works for part of the population and only at certain times. (I'd hate to have filet mignon for breakfast! Or dessert!) So, in the publishing industry, there are more options. Through this program, you can better learn which one will work for you, depending on your goals and your type of project. 

Who knows, you might even find the perfect place for your book during this Publishing Laine hour.

Identify those things that you must do following a conference if you are serious about your writing career.Discern the things you should do to make the most of your experiences.Come up with things that you can do to expand the connections that you made at your conference. 

In addition, you'll get an idea of how you can capitalize on all of your experiences, good or bad.
