Please join Linda Secondari, Publishing Strategist + Creative Director
in a conversation about

Traditional Publishing in 2026:
What It Can and Can't Do For You

If you're serious about your book, you’ve likely asked yourself:

  • Should I pursue a traditional publishing deal?

  • Is it still the “gold standard”?

  • What am I actually gaining—or giving up?

Most authors are told this is a question of legitimacy.

It’s not.

It’s a strategic decision.

This is not a webinar.

You’ve been invited into a small, curated conversation with other authors who are actively:

  • Thinking about agents and traditional deals

  • Weighing their publishing options

  • Wanting to make a smart, informed next move

Inside this salon, we’ll explore:

  • What traditional publishing actually offers in 2026 (vs. the myth)

  • Where it supports your goals — and where it doesn’t

  • How to evaluate if it aligns with your vision as an author
