Stronger Together: Creating Winning Partnerships

Publishers and writers may speak theoretically about working together, but rarely do we pursue formal partnerships. In this webinar, Sam Richardson speaks from his experience in partnerships between publishers, but expands the theme further to challenge everyone in the room—from senior publishing executives to writers and creatives—to pursue collaborate relationships for the success of the parties involved and for expansion of the Kingdom.
