These topics all sound good except for how to find a critique partner, which I think most people know how to do. It would be great to get some advice on how to connect with readers and librarians on Twitter and use it and Instagram effectively without having to spend hours on social media. Also I'd love tips on how to learn to write faster because many of us who are not published yet are pretty slow writers.
Advice about Comp titles
Query Tracker advice (do I need a bio in my query AND the bio box, for example?)
How much info to include in the equery or query form (are mailing address, phone number, and website necessary?)
Deciphering an agent's wishlist, or deciphering your readership
Building a self-publishing team (not for me - but I have friends who'd want to know), and building a traditional publishing team (who all is in the village for each route?)
Target Markets - How to find them, or how to identify them for an agent
Writing goals for the plotter and pantser, what works best for each
Do authors write out of order? What are the pros and pitfalls to that?
Identifying and Fixing Plotholes
What are considered big picture edits, what are line-item edits, and when is best to do them?
How to market better. (For example, https://www.facebook.com/vikki.jankowski/posts/10221397423737555, what promo is she using?)
More light on the services that ghost writers offer.
Color/ colour gray/ grey -- Does it make a difference to publishing translations if some words use a different spelling language variation?
How can fans help favorite books get more reviews?
