Panel: So You Want to Write a Forensics Book
Abstract
If you have ever entertained the idea of writing a forensics book, here is your chance to talk with some of the published authors who have already done it. Find out how they were able to get their book deals, what the process of writing was like for each of them, how they assembled their writing team and what they learned from it all. The authors will share practical tips from their experience with the process and the publishing houses.
