Querying agents and waiting on slush piles isn't the only way to get published. For many writers it's not even the best one. In this panel, successful indie authors Tara Dorabji, Marianne Lonsdale, Regina Louise, and Wendy Johnson pull back the curtain on surprising, alternative paths such as contest contracts, hybrid publishers, and DIY presses to get stories published and promoted.
