So you’ve finished writing your book. Congratulations! Now for the next steps toward publication: writing a query letter, getting an agent, shoring up your sample chapters, building your brand and more. Even if you’ve already landed an agent or editor, you might need help navigating publication and publicity.
That’s where the Publishing Doctor, acclaimed mystery and thriller author Tessa Wegert, comes in.
Tessa serves on the board of International Thriller Writers, and has served as an author/agent matchmaker as co-director of ITW’s PitchFest in New York City. You can meet with Tessa for an hour — or however long you need — either in-person or online, to set you on the right path.
Tessa’s six-book Shana Merchant mystery series has received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Shelf Awareness and has been featured on PBS and NPR Radio. Tessa also writes the North Country thriller series, the second of which—The River Runs Black—releases this year. Tessa is the co-founder and former co-president of Sisters in Crime CT and teaches Writing Publishable Mysteries and Thrillers here at the Fairfield County Writers’ Studio.
