SPEAKER Lynn Wiese Sneyd – April 30th:
Lynn Wiese Sneyd is the owner of LWS Literary Services, an agency that specializes in book publicity, book proposals, query letters, editing and ghostwriting. Most recently she co-authored The Horse Lover: A Cowboy’s Quest to Save the Wild Mustangs with H. Alan Day, who started the first government-sponsored wild horse sanctuary. Alan also co-authored the memoir Lazy B with his sister Sandra Day O’Connor.
Although publishing journeys differ, they share certain “constants.” Lynn Wiese Sneyd and H. Alan Day will join us to lend insight into what you can expect while writing, publishing, and promoting your book. Their book, The Horse Lover, published by the University of Nebraska Press, has had quite the publishing journey. Booklist is calling it “an instant classic” and Kirkus Reviews calls it a “fresh” and “lively report.”
