Posted on November 6, 2012November 13, 2012 by Jane Friedman | 9 Comments

Last Friday, I had the honor of spending a day with the Reddit writing community, where I participated in an AMA (Ask Me Anything). I answered such questions as:

Is self-epublishing being overblown?
Where can you find freelance editing and copyediting jobs?
What are some good conferences to meet agents in person?
How has agenting changed in the last decade?
Which publishers are responding in innovative ways to the digital revolution?
What are my favorite resources for authors?

And much, much more. Click here to read the complete Q&A. You don’t have to be a Reddit community member to read.
