#1 International Best-Selling Author Jennifer S. Wilkov Hosts the Sold-Out The Next Bestseller™ Workshop in New York City

NEW YORK - Nov. 4, 2016 - PRLog -- #1 international best-selling author & CEO of Your Book Is Your Hook, (http://www.yourbookisyourhook.com/), Jennifer S. Wilkov will be hosting the sold-out The Next Bestseller™ Workshop (www.TheNextBestseller.com) in New York City this weekend beginning on Friday, November 4 through Sunday, November 6 at District CoWork in Midtown Manhattan. Starting at 6 PM tonight, the three-day exclusive workshop is designed to support book writers, screenwriters for film and television, and playwrights with understanding on how to answer the inevitable question, "So what's your project about?" The workshop will provide in-depth trainings by industry professionals alongside Ms. Wilkov concerning not only how to approach the industry with your project but also how to use the right language to describe your project for these pivotal conversations, to craft your marketing and presentation materials, and to explore the adaptability of your project to other mediums.

"Writers often don't realize that they will have to answer the question, 'So, what's your project about?' for the rest of their writing careers. To break into the publishing and entertainment industries, writers need to get clear about what their stories, books and projects are about and how to summarize them quickly and concisely in their conversations with literary agents, publishers, producers, Broadway theater developers and other industry professionals. When done well, the conversation should cultivate interest in you and your project and potentially lead to other opportunities such as speaking appearances and/or deepen business relationships with prospects and clients, not just sell books or your project," states Jennifer S. Wilkov, Founder of The Next Bestseller™ Workshop and CEO of Your Book Is Your Hook. "There are a number of ways to craft the conversation and presentation of your project. However, there are so many options that it can become extremely overwhelming and confusing for the writer who often doesn't feel competent when writing the short stuff as a marketer of his or her own projects. A writer with an amazing concept could easily get rejected by the industry or ignored by the audience he or she has targeted when the presentation is not intriguing or engaging. I want to prevent that from happening by educating writers and breaking down the cluttered and often conflicting information they find on the Internet or in other trainings into clear actionable steps they can take to really succeed with their projects."

The Next Bestseller™ Workshop weekend is a safe space that provides an intimate environment for writers to get exclusive access to the dream team of industry trainers to help them prepare and practice their presentation and pitch BEFORE they have to talk about their projects with industry professionals and others. "Who better to help a writer with this painful process than the industry professionals themselves?!" says Wilkov.

Panels and break-out sessions of The Next Bestseller™ Workshop will include discussions on literary professionals and publishing, film, television, public speaking, public relations, social media, and search engine optimization and more. The writers will also present their projects to an elite panel of industry professionals from the literary, entertainment and theater community and receive specific feedback about their individual presentations so they can improve them.
