WORKSHOP
Understand Your Options: Traditional, Hybrid, and Self-Publishing
If you want to become a significant professional author then you need to understand the options available for publishing your book and use the tools of the publishing industry to plan your book and to introduce yourself and that book to agents and publishers. The problem is you are encountering a tidal wave of information about publishing. In addition, the terminology used in the industry can seem like a foreign language which can leave you feeling overwhelmed and confused.
The reality is you should be able to find authoritative information and assistance on your journey to becoming a successful author.
This workshop will explore the differences between traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing so you can consider the best option for your book. In addition, we will explain how to create your book proposal and use it as your blueprint to build a successful book, make strong first impressions, and establish the industry connections you need.
