Summary: Learn about the editing process (developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading), what you need to know about book/cover design, various platforms for digital publishing, and options for printing your book. We'll also cover distribution (getting your book into bookstores and libraries) and marketing - two areas crucial to your book’s success yet often overlooked in the self publishing process. Panelists will include an editor, marketing professional, media escort, distributor and novelist - all with experience in both the traditional and independent publishing worlds. A moderated discussion will be followed by a Q&A session. This program is ideal for fiction, nonfiction and memoir writers.
